Heads up! Our parent watchdogs have scanned the upcoming agenda for Gavin SD 37. We found 2 items that need your immediate attention before the vote.
⚠️ NEEDS REVIEW (LEVEL 7)
Policy Updates on Teacher Pronoun Use and Student Clubs
📅 August 19, 2026
The district is reviewing policy guidance (PRESS Issue 122) that flags new legal battles over teachers’ rights regarding students’ preferred pronouns (Policy 6:80 footnote). The guidance also includes a complete rewrite of the policy for non-curricular student clubs (Policy 7:330), which could change the rules for how ideological clubs operate on campus.
Recommended Action Plan

DEMAND CLARITY: This is an early warning. Email the Board (see the Official Agenda link for contact info): ‘Regarding the PRESS Issue 122 review, parents must be involved in any changes to policies 6:80 (Controversial Issues) and 7:330 (Student Clubs). We expect the board to protect teacher and student speech rights and to ensure all student clubs are age-appropriate and transparent to parents.’

💰 Taxpayer Impact: Ideology in Schools
✅ Wins to Defend
Good moves worth showing up to support so they stick.
Major Win (LEVEL 8)
New Policy Guidance Affirms Parental Opt-Out Rights
📅 August 19, 2026
The state’s policy service (PRESS) is advising the district to update its policies on “Teaching About Controversial Issues” (6:80) and “Teaching About Religions” (6:70). This is based on a Supreme Court decision affirming a parent’s right to opt their child out of instruction that threatens their right to direct their child’s religious upbringing. This is a powerful tool for parents to refuse curriculum that violates their values.
How to Lock It In

AMPLIFY THIS WIN: Attend the meeting to thank the board for considering policies that affirm parental rights. Email the Board (see the Official Agenda link for contact info): ‘I support adopting the PRESS recommendations for policies 6:70 and 6:80, which correctly recognize a parent’s right to opt their child out of curriculum that violates our family’s religious beliefs. Please ensure the final policy language is strong and the opt-out process is clear and simple for parents.’
