District Pays Controversial Special Ed Center Known for Aversive Therapies
The district’s invoice list includes a payment of $67,370.12 to The Judge Rotenberg Educational Center. This facility is nationally known and controversial for its use of painful electric skin shocks and other aversive interventions on students with disabilities.
Recommended Action Plan
PACK THE ROOM: This is unacceptable. Email the Board of Education (see district website for contacts): ‘I demand to know why District 87 is sending taxpayer money and potentially our most vulnerable students to the Judge Rotenberg Center. We do not support aversive therapies. Vote NO on these invoices until this payment is removed and explained.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: $67,370.12

Alternative Program Framed with Equity and Belonging Ideology
The ‘Directions Program’ for at-risk students is presented using ideological language like ‘Belonging & Connectedness’ and is explicitly tied to the ‘Glenbard Equity and Belonging Purpose Statement.’ This suggests the program’s focus may be on social engineering rather than purely academic credit recovery.
Recommended Action Plan
ASK QUESTIONS: Contact the district office. Ask: ‘What specific curriculum is used in the Directions Program, and how does the district’s Equity and Belonging statement influence the instruction given to these at-risk students?’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Replacing Academics with Ideology

E-Learning Plan Includes Student Surveillance Tools
The district’s E-Learning Program renewal for 2026-2029 details how it will monitor student participation on remote days. The plan includes using ‘AirWatch, a mobile device management system to monitor…iPads connected to WiFi’ and tracking G Suite activity, normalizing the electronic surveillance of students.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Email the Board of Education (see district website for contacts): ‘Regarding the E-Learning plan, what is the full extent of student data collected by monitoring systems like AirWatch, who has access to it, and for how long is it stored? Parents must be able to opt-out of invasive surveillance.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Your Child’s Privacy

Mental Health Initiative Positions School Staff Over Parents
The Superintendent’s report on Suicide Prevention Month encourages students struggling with mental health to ‘speak with a trusted adult at school, such as a counselor, social worker, dean, teacher, or principal.’ This language can subtly undermine parental authority by positioning school staff as the primary confidants for students’ emotional issues.
Recommended Action Plan
REINFORCE PARENTAL RIGHTS: Email the Superintendent (see district website for contacts): ‘I support providing resources, but school policy must affirm that parents are the primary authority in their child’s mental and emotional well-being. All materials must explicitly encourage students to talk to their parents first.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Sidelining Parental Involvement

| ALERT (LEVEL 3) |

ACT Prep Software Contract Includes Student Data Tracking
The district is approving a $68,064 contract with ‘Progress Learning’ for ACT test prep. The service includes ‘multi-level reporting’ and creating ‘individualized learning paths,’ which involves collecting and analyzing student performance data.
Recommended Action Plan
OPT-OUT ALERT: Email the district office: ‘Regarding the Progress Learning contract, what specific student data is collected, who owns it, and is it shared with any third parties? Please provide the specific parental opt-out form for this data collection before the vote.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: $68,064
