Heads up! Our parent watchdogs have scanned the upcoming agenda for ROCKFORD PUBLIC SCHOOL DISTRICT. We found 5 items that need your immediate attention before the vote.
| 🚨 HIGH CONCERN (LEVEL 8) |
|
Staff Development Policy Mandates DEI
The proposed Staff Development policy (425R) requires creating an ‘inclusive curriculum’ consistent with the district’s ‘diversity plan.’ It also directs funds to ‘affinity groups’ for teachers based on race and promotes professional development focused on closing ‘opportunity and achievement gaps,’ embedding equity-focused ideology into teacher training.
Recommended Action Plan
This is a first reading, so we can stop it now. Email the School Board (see Official Agenda link for contacts): ‘I oppose Policy 425R. Taxpayer funds should not be used to create racially-segregated ‘affinity groups’ for teachers or to push DEI-focused training. Please remove this ideological language before the second reading.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Taxpayer-Funded Activist Training

Undisclosed Vendor Payments on Consent Agenda
The district has bundled all vendor payments for July onto the consent agenda, meaning they can be approved with a single vote and no discussion. The specific payment registers, which would name the vendors and amounts, were referenced in the agenda but their content was not included in the provided documents.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: Open the files ‘July 2026 Accounts Payable’ and ‘July 2026 Wires’ attached in the Official Agenda (linked above) to confirm whether they contain payments to ideological vendors or consultants. Email the School Board (see Official Agenda link for contacts): ‘I demand Item 4.C be pulled from the Consent Agenda for a separate discussion and roll-call vote. Parents deserve to know exactly who the district is paying.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Undisclosed Spending

| ⚠️ NEEDS REVIEW (LEVEL 7) |
|
Discipline Policy Weakened with SEL Practices
The revised Student Discipline policy (506) formally adopts ‘nonexclusionary disciplinary policies and practices,’ including ‘social and emotional services.’ It also prohibits dismissals for students in Pre-K through 3rd grade, prioritizing therapeutic interventions over clear consequences and potentially making classrooms less safe and orderly.
Recommended Action Plan
This is a first reading. Email the School Board (see Official Agenda link for contacts): ‘Policy 506 weakens discipline and classroom management by prioritizing ‘nonexclusionary’ practices. We need clear consequences for misbehavior, not SEL interventions, to ensure a safe learning environment for all students.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Classroom Safety & Order

| ⚠️ NEEDS REVIEW (LEVEL 6) |
|
New ‘Profile of a Graduate’ Pushes SEL
The district is presenting a ‘Profile of a Graduate’ framework that includes competencies like ‘Empathetic Citizen’ and ‘Global & Cultural Awareness.’ It also proposes a data dashboard to track non-academic metrics like ‘Sense of Belonging’ and ‘School Climate,’ opening the door to student surveillance and social-emotional engineering.
Recommended Action Plan
Email the School Board (see Official Agenda link for contacts): ‘Academics, not feelings, should be the focus of a ‘Profile of a Graduate.’ I oppose the creation of data dashboards to track subjective metrics like ‘school climate’ and ‘sense of belonging.’ Please focus on academic proficiency.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Your Child’s Data

| ALERT (LEVEL 3) |
|
Board Goals Include ‘Global Citizen’ Language
The proposed 2026-2027 School Board Goals document includes the district’s mission to ‘educate globally minded citizens.’ This language is often a Trojan horse for curricula focused on political and social issues over core academics like American history and civics.
Recommended Action Plan
Monitor: This is low-level ideological language, but it’s important to watch how it translates into curriculum decisions. No immediate action required, but be aware.
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Replacing Civics with Activism
