Heads up! Our parent watchdogs have scanned the upcoming agenda for Norridge SD 80. We found 5 items that need your immediate attention before the vote.
| 🚨 HIGH CONCERN (LEVEL 10) |
|
District Spending $161,000 on Controversial Classroom Supplier
The board is set to approve a massive $161,041.28 payment to Lakeshore Learning Materials, a vendor known for supplying classrooms with Social Emotional Learning (SEL) and DEI materials, including gender identity kits. This huge purchase is buried in the consent agenda’s bill list, avoiding public discussion.
Recommended Action Plan
PACK THE ROOM: This is a major ideological purchase disguised as a routine bill payment. Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link) and attend the meeting. Demand Item 14.K be pulled from the consent agenda and that the board provide a full, itemized list of the $161,041.28 in materials being purchased from Lakeshore Learning before any vote.
💰 Taxpayer Impact: $161,041.28

| 🚨 HIGH CONCERN (LEVEL 8) |
|
Vote on Tentative Budget with No Public Documents
The board is voting to approve the entire tentative budget for the next fiscal year, but the budget document itself is not attached to the public agenda. This prevents parents from reviewing line items for funding of ideological programs, consultants, or staff positions.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND DELAY: Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link) and demand the vote on the FY27 Tentative Budget be postponed until the full, detailed budget document is posted online for public review for at least one week. ‘No transparency, no new budget.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Hidden Ideological Spending

| ⚠️ NEEDS REVIEW (LEVEL 7) |
|
Vague “PRESS Policy Update” Hidden in Consent Agenda
The board plans to approve “PRESS Policy Update 122” on its first reading without separate discussion by hiding it in the consent agenda. These updates from the state school board association can introduce major changes affecting parental rights, discipline, or curriculum, but the text has not been provided.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link) and demand that Item 14.D, the PRESS Policy Update, be pulled from the Consent Agenda for a full public discussion and a separate vote. Ask for a link to the full text of the proposed changes.
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Unvetted Policy Changes

| 👀 MONITOR (LEVEL 5) |
|
Curriculum Director to Unveil New “Roadmap”
The Director of Curriculum and Instruction will present a new “roadmap,” but the presentation materials are not available for public review beforehand. These presentations are often where ideological frameworks like SEL or DEI are introduced without a formal policy vote.
Recommended Action Plan
ATTEND & RECORD: Parents should attend this meeting to hear the ‘Curriculum Roadmap’ presentation under item 11.A. Ask the board to post the full presentation online for public review before any related policies are drafted.
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Future Ideological Curriculum
|
| ALERT (LEVEL 4) |
|
Undisclosed “Discussion Items” on Agenda
The agenda lists “Mrs. Guzik’s Discussion Items” with no further explanation or attached documents. This lack of transparency prevents parents from knowing what topics will be discussed and potentially moved to a future action item.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link) and ask: ‘What specific topics will be covered under agenda item 13.A, “Mrs. Guzik’s Discussion Items”? Agenda items should be descriptive so the public can be informed.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Reduced Transparency
