Heads up! Our parent watchdogs have scanned the upcoming agenda for Skokie SD 68. We found 6 items that need your immediate attention before the vote.
| 🚨 HIGH CONCERN (LEVEL 10) |
|
District Adopting SEL and Universal Mental Health Screening
The board is set for a final vote on Policy 6:65, which formally embeds ‘Social and Emotional Learning’ (SEL) into the curriculum. This policy includes provisions for ‘universal screening, assessment, and early intervention for students who have significant risk factors for social, emotional, or mental health conditions that impact learning,’ turning teachers into unqualified mental health screeners without clear parental consent.
Recommended Action Plan
PACK THE ROOM: This is a final vote to turn our schools into clinics. Email the Board (see Official Agenda link for contacts): ‘I demand Policy 6:65 be pulled from the Consent Agenda for a separate vote. Do not approve universal mental health screening of my child without my explicit, written consent.’

New ‘Gender Identity’ Harassment Policy on Final Vote
Policy 7:20, up for a final vote, adds ‘gender identity’ and ‘gender-related identity or expression’ to the list of protected classes for student harassment. This language is used in other districts to enforce pronoun mandates, allow boys in girls’ bathrooms, and enable social transitioning of children at school without parental knowledge or consent.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND A ‘NO’ VOTE: This policy opens the door to social transition without parental consent. Email the Board (see Official Agenda link for contacts): ‘Vote NO on Policy 7:20. The district has no right to socially transition a child or enforce gender ideology without parental consent.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Parental Rights Violation

New 5-Year ‘Equity’ and ‘Inclusion’ Strategic Plan
Under item IV.A, the Superintendent is launching a new 5-year Strategic Plan. The plan’s documents are filled with ideological buzzwords, centering on an ‘Equity Framework,’ ‘tiered supports,’ ‘inclusive practices,’ and honoring ‘diverse identities.’ This plan will guide all future curriculum, hiring, and policy decisions, shifting the district’s focus from academics to social engineering.
Recommended Action Plan
PUT THE BOARD ON NOTICE: This is the blueprint for the district’s ideological agenda. Sign up for public comment to ask: ‘How does an ‘Equity Framework’ improve math and reading scores? Parents want a strategic plan focused on academic excellence, not social agendas.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Replacing Academics

Controversial Policies Hidden in Consent Agenda
The board has bundled several highly controversial policies, including the SEL/universal screening policy (6:65) and the Gender Identity policy (7:20), into the ‘Consent Agenda’ under item VII.F. This is a procedural tactic to pass major changes with a single vote and no public discussion, hoping parents won’t notice.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Email the Board (see Official Agenda link for contacts): ‘I demand that all policies under item VII.F, especially 6:65 and 7:20, be pulled from the Consent Agenda for individual discussion and a roll-call vote. Do not hide these critical policy changes from the public.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Reduced Board Oversight
|
| ⚠️ NEEDS REVIEW (LEVEL 7) |
|
Vague Title — Manual Review Required
Item VII.F includes a final vote on Policy 7:180, ‘Prevention of and Response to Bullying, Intimidation, and Harassment.’ The actual text of this policy was not included in the agenda attachments, making it impossible to analyze. Given the changes to the related harassment policy (7:20), this document could contain significant language affecting student discipline and parental rights.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: Open the file for Policy 7:180 attached in the Official Agenda (linked above) to confirm whether it contains sensitive policy changes related to gender identity or restorative justice. Demand this item be tabled until the public has had 30 days to review the full text.
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Undisclosed Policy Language

New ‘School Wellness’ Policy Opens Door for Scope Creep
Policy 6:50, up for a final vote, establishes a ‘School Wellness’ framework. While it seems harmless, it requires the district to compare its policies to ‘model local school wellness policies’ every three years. This creates a permanent mechanism to introduce more radical health and wellness initiatives, like school-based clinics or intrusive surveys, in the future.
Recommended Action Plan
ASK THE HARD QUESTIONS: Email the Board (see Official Agenda link for contacts): ‘Regarding Policy 6:50, which organizations provide the ‘model policies’ you will be using for comparison? Parents have a right to know who is influencing our district’s health standards.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Future Ideological Intrusion
