Gender Identity Language Hidden in ‘Nondiscrimination’ Policy Update
Buried in the consent agenda under Item 4.H, the board is set to approve a massive ‘Nondiscrimination’ policy update (po1422/3122/4122). This new policy redefines ‘sex’ to include ‘gender identity’ and ‘sexual orientation,’ laying the groundwork for policies that could allow schools to socially transition children without parental knowledge or consent.
Recommended Action Plan
PACK THE ROOM: This is a critical threat. Email the Glenwood City School District Board (see the Official Agenda link for contact info): ‘We demand Item 4.H be pulled from the consent agenda for a full, public discussion. We do not consent to redefining ‘sex’ to include ‘gender identity’ in district policy. Vote NO on the proposed po1422/3122/4122.’

Public Comment Time Slashed to 2 Minutes
The board is implementing policy po0167.3, which limits each parent’s speaking time to just two minutes and caps the entire public comment period at twenty minutes. This severely restricts the ability of parents to voice their concerns and hold the board accountable on important issues affecting their children.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TO BE HEARD: Email the Glenwood City School District Board (see the Official Agenda link for contact info): ‘Item 3.A, Policy po0167.3, is an unacceptable restriction on parental rights. We demand you remove the 20-minute total time limit and extend individual speaking time to allow for meaningful public input.’

District Spends $2,000 on Student Monitoring Software
The check register shows a $2,000 payment to Securly for a ‘Hall Pass & Flex period system.’ Securly is a student surveillance company that monitors student activity, raising significant privacy concerns for our children.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Email the Glenwood City School District Board (see the Official Agenda link for contact info): ‘Regarding the $2,000 payment to Securly in the Accounts Payable (Item 4.B), what specific student data is being collected and who has access to it? Parents must be given a clear opt-out process before any student monitoring software is used.’
💰 Impact: $2,000

District Spends $1,330 on ChatGPT Subscription for Classrooms
The district paid $1,330.67 for a yearly team subscription to ChatGPT. While AI can be a tool, it also represents a significant increase in screen time and a replacement for direct instruction and critical thinking skills.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Email the Glenwood City School District Board (see the Official Agenda link for contact info): ‘Regarding the ChatGPT subscription in Item 4.B, what is the daily screen time this adds for students, and what direct instruction does it replace? Before this is used, please publish independent evidence that this product produces meaningful academic gains, not just vendor claims.’
💰 Impact: $1,330.67

Vague ‘Wellness’ Policy Update Hidden in Consent Agenda
The consent agenda includes a revision to policy po8510, titled ‘WELLNESS.’ This is a common euphemism for programs that can include Social Emotional Learning (SEL) or other ideological content, but the actual text of the revised policy has not been provided for public review in the attachments.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: Item 4.H bundles a revision to ‘Wellness’ policy po8510. Open the file ‘0.2 For Board Consideration 35.2 (25 items).pdf’ attached in the Official Agenda (linked above) to confirm whether it contains SEL or other ideological content, and demand the board explain the changes before voting.
💰 Impact: Undisclosed Policy Content

Vague Title — Manual Review Required
Item 4.P on the consent agenda seeks approval for policies and training related to ‘Act 57 & Act 89,’ which concern child safety. However, the agenda references a ‘Sexual-Grooming-Graphic’ and other policy documents that were not included in the provided packet, preventing parental review of these sensitive materials.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: Open the files ‘GCSD Act 57 and Act 89.pdf’ and ‘Sexual-Grooming-Graphic.pdf’ attached in the Official Agenda (linked above). Parents have a right to see the training materials and policies being adopted to protect our children.
💰 Impact: Unseen Training Materials

| MONITOR (LEVEL 5) |

Vague Title — Manual Review Required
The board is approving an ‘eCampus Handbook’ under the consent agenda (Item 4.J). The contents of this handbook, which could include policies on screen time, online curriculum, and student monitoring, are not available for review in the provided agenda packet.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: Open the file ‘Draft – GCHS 2026-27 eCampus Handbook (6-4-26).pdf’ attached in the Official Agenda (linked above) to confirm whether it contains sensitive policy changes on screen time, curriculum, or student data.
💰 Impact: Undisclosed Policies

District Pays for ‘Digital Citizenship’ Program
A payment of $462.15 was made to Neptune Navigate for a ‘Digital Citizenship’ curriculum. These programs often serve as a vehicle for ideological content, including concepts related to online identity and social justice, under the guise of teaching online safety.
Recommended Action Plan
OPT-OUT ALERT: Email the Glenwood City School District Board (see the Official Agenda link for contact info): ‘Regarding the payment to Neptune Navigate in Item 4.B, I request to review the full ‘Digital Citizenship’ curriculum. Please provide the specific parental opt-out form for this program before it is implemented.’
💰 Impact: $462.15

| ALERT (LEVEL 3) |

State Grant Funds Literacy Coach, Reduces Local Control
The district is accepting a DPI grant to fund an Early Literacy Coach (Item 4.F). While literacy is critical, this position is bound by all DPI requirements and deliverables, meaning a state agency, not our local board, will direct the coach’s work and priorities.
Recommended Action Plan
Monitor: Email the Glenwood City School District Board (see the Official Agenda link for contact info): ‘Regarding Item 4.F, we support literacy but are concerned about ceding control to DPI. Please ensure the board provides regular oversight of the grant-funded Literacy Coach’s activities and curriculum choices.’
💰 Impact: Reduced Local Control

District Strengthens Parental Opt-Out Rights for Controversial Curriculum
In a positive move for parents, the board is set to approve revised policy po2510 as part of Item 4.H. This policy requires the district to notify parents about instructional materials that may conflict with their religious beliefs and establishes a formal process for parents to opt their children out and receive alternative assignments.
How to Lock It In
SECURE THE WIN: Show up to thank the Board for strengthening parental rights in Item 4.H (policy po2510). Email the Glenwood City School District Board (see the Official Agenda link for contact info): ‘Thank you for affirming parental rights in the proposed revision to policy po2510. Please ensure this is passed and protected from future changes.’
