Heads up! Our parent watchdogs have scanned the upcoming agenda for CCSD 93. We found 6 items that need your immediate attention before the vote.
| 🚨 HIGH CONCERN (LEVEL 9) |
|
Policy Update Injects Gender Pronoun Debate into Classroom
The board is voting on a new policy (6:80) for “Controversial Issues” that explicitly references a court case about forcing teachers to use a student’s preferred pronouns. This opens the door for gender ideology to be formally recognized and enforced in district policy, potentially without parental consent.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: This policy is hidden in the ‘PRESS Policy Updates.’ Email the Board (contact info on district website): ‘I demand Item 7.b.1, specifically Policy 6:80, be pulled from the Consent Agenda for a separate discussion and roll-call vote. Parents deserve to know where you stand on forcing teachers and students to use preferred pronouns.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Teacher & Student Speech Rights

| 🚨 HIGH CONCERN (LEVEL 8) |
|
Hiding Controversial Policies in “Routine” Vote
The Board has bundled significant policy updates, including the one on gender pronouns (Policy 6:80), into a single “Consent Agenda” vote (Item 7.b). This is a classic bureaucratic maneuver to pass controversial items without public discussion or a separate vote.
Recommended Action Plan
PACK THE ROOM: The board is trying to pass major policy changes without debate. Sign up for public comment and demand that the Board pull items 7.b.1 and 7.b.2 from the Consent Agenda for a full discussion and individual votes.
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Reduced Board Oversight

| ⚠️ NEEDS REVIEW (LEVEL 6) |
|
Vague Title — Manual Review Required for Public Comment Policy
The board is voting on updates to Policy 2:230, “Public Participation at Board of Education Meetings.” The actual text of the changes was not included in the agenda packet, only a vague summary, which prevents parents from knowing if their right to speak is being limited.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: Open the file for ‘Policies for 2nd Reading’ (Item 4.b) attached in the Official Agenda (linked above) to confirm whether Policy 2:230 contains changes that limit public comment time or restrict parents’ right to speak.
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Your Right to Speak

“Emergency” E-Learning Plan Includes SEL
The district’s new E-Learning plan for snow days explicitly states that “Social Emotional Learning (SEL)” will be part of the required 5 hours of instruction. This uses emergency closures as an opportunity to push non-academic, value-based curriculum into your home.
Recommended Action Plan
OPT-OUT ALERT: Email the Superintendent (contact info on district website): ‘Regarding the E-Learning Plan (Item 5.a), what is the specific SEL curriculum being used, and what is the process for parents to review it and opt their children out of these non-academic lessons?’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Academics Replaced by SEL
|
| ALERT (LEVEL 3) |
|
Vague Title — Manual Review Required for Personnel Report
The agenda includes the approval of a Personnel Report (Item 7.a), but the list of new hires, resignations, and position changes is not attached. These reports can sometimes include the hiring of ideological consultants or staff for DEI/SEL roles.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: Open the file for the ‘Personnel Report’ (Item 7.a) attached in the Official Agenda (linked above) to check for any new hires with titles like ‘DEI Coordinator,’ ‘Equity Officer,’ or contracts with outside SEL consultants.
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Undisclosed

✅ Wins to Defend
Good moves worth showing up to support so they stick.

| Major Win (LEVEL 7) |
|
District Policy Cites Precedent for Religious Opt-Outs
Proposed updates to policies on “Teaching About Religions” (6:70) and “Controversial Issues” (6:80) explicitly cite a court case (`Mahmoud v. Taylor`) that affirms the right of parents to opt their children out of curriculum based on religious objections. This is a positive development that strengthens parental rights.
How to Lock It In
AMPLIFY THIS WIN: Show up to thank the Board for codifying parental opt-out rights in policies 6:70 and 6:80. Get this on the record so it can’t be quietly reversed and use it as a model for neighboring districts.
✅ Why It Matters: Strengthened Parental Rights
