Heads up! Our parent watchdogs have scanned the upcoming agenda for Lake Bluff ESD 65. We found 4 items that need your immediate attention before the vote.
🚨 HIGH CONCERN (LEVEL 10)
District Hides Purchase of Major SEL Curriculum in Bills List
📅 August 18, 2026
The district is paying $3,199 to “Committee for Children” for the “Second Step” curriculum, a well-known Social Emotional Learning program. This purchase was bundled into the consent agenda’s bill report, preventing public discussion on a program that often replaces academics with psychological programming.
Recommended Action Plan

PACK THE ROOM: This is a critical threat. Email the Board (contact info on district website): ‘I demand the Bills Report be pulled from the Consent Agenda for a separate vote. The Board must publicly debate and justify spending taxpayer money on the Second Step SEL curriculum before it is approved.’

💰 Taxpayer Impact: $3,199
🚨 HIGH CONCERN (LEVEL 9)
District Officially Adds SEL to Report Cards and Policy
📅 August 18, 2026
Past meeting minutes from June reveal the district’s plan to add “social-emotional and behavioral comments” to elementary report cards. The board also formally approved policy “6:65 Student Social and Emotional Development,” cementing SEL as a district priority and turning teachers into unqualified therapists.
Recommended Action Plan

DEMAND REPEAL: This policy has already passed, but we must fight back. Email the Board (contact info on district website): ‘Policy 6:65 and the changes to report cards are an unacceptable overreach. We demand the board repeal this policy and return the focus to academic achievement, not emotional engineering.’

💰 Taxpayer Impact: Focus on Academics
🚨 HIGH CONCERN (LEVEL 8)
District Hires “Inclusive Schools” Consultant
📅 August 18, 2026
The district is partnering with “Open Doors Inc.” for “Inclusive Schools coaching and PD.” This type of training often introduces controversial DEI concepts like critical race theory and gender ideology to teachers, which then filters down into the classroom.
Recommended Action Plan

DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Email the Board (contact info on district website): ‘What specific materials and frameworks will Open Doors Inc. use for its “Inclusive Schools coaching”? Parents have a right to review all teacher training materials to ensure they are free of political ideology.’

💰 Taxpayer Impact: $6,900 (15% payment)
👀 MONITOR (LEVEL 5)
Vague Agenda Title Obscures Ideological Training
📅 August 18, 2026
The agenda lists a “True North Program Update” with an attachment titled “Service Transition Plan.” While the attachment was available and revealed a new partnership with “Inclusive Schools” coaches, this vague titling is a pattern that can be used to obscure controversial partnerships from public scrutiny.
Recommended Action Plan

Email the Board (contact info on district website): ‘Item 7.C, “True North Program Update,” is a vague title for a plan that includes new ideological coaching contracts. We demand all future agenda items use clear, descriptive titles so parents can provide informed comment.’

💰 Taxpayer Impact: Reduced Transparency
