| HIGH CONCERN (LEVEL 9) |
|
‘Revised Board Policies’ Hidden from Public View
The board is reviewing ‘Revised Board Policies’ under Item X.I, but the text of these revisions has not been made public in the agenda. This is a major transparency failure, as these changes could impact anything from parental rights and curriculum review to student discipline or gender policies.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: The proposed policy revisions for Item X.I must be made public immediately. Contact the District Office and tell the Board: ‘Do not discuss or vote on any ‘Revised Board Policies’ until the full text of the changes has been posted for public review for at least 48 hours.’
💰 Impact: Reduced Parental Rights

New Macbook Purchase Increases Student Screen Time
The district is planning a ‘Revised Technology Purchase’ of Macbook Neos for students under item X.H. Before approving more devices and screen time, the board must provide evidence that this technology improves academic outcomes and specify what it will replace in the classroom, such as direct teacher instruction.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND EVIDENCE: Before the vote on Item X.H, email the Board (contact info on district website): ‘Please publish the independent, non-vendor-funded evidence that Macbooks produce academic gains, and state how much daily screen time this purchase will add for the average student. We need proof of value before you approve more screen time.’
💰 Impact: More Screen Time

District May Use Tax Dollars for Political Lobbying
The board is discussing a ‘Legislative Initiatives Survey’ from ED-RED, a school district lobbying organization. This means the board may be using its official position and our tax dollars to take sides on state-level political issues that could undermine parental rights.
Recommended Action Plan
PUT PARENTS FIRST: Email the Board (contact info on district website): ‘Regarding Item XI.B.1, the board’s only focus should be on educating Woodland students, not on political lobbying in Springfield. Please commit to representing the parents of this district, not outside political organizations.’
💰 Impact: Taxpayer-Funded Lobbying

School Board Association Pushing Political Resolutions
The ‘Resolutions Committee Report’ likely contains political positions for the Illinois Association of School Boards (IASB) to lobby for or against in the state legislature. Parents need to see this report to know if the board is planning to support statewide initiatives that could harm local control and parental rights.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: The report for Item XI.B.2 is not public. Contact the District Office and demand the ‘2026 Resolutions Committee Report’ be posted online. We have a right to know what political positions our district is being asked to endorse.
💰 Impact: Undermining Local Control

| MONITOR (LEVEL 5) |
|
Vague ‘Student Services’ Update Could Hide SEL Programs
The board is reviewing a written report on ‘Student Services’ under item X.C. This is often a catch-all term for programs like Social Emotional Learning (SEL), mental health screenings, or other ‘whole child’ initiatives that can replace academics and collect sensitive data on your child.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: The report for Item X.C is not included in the public agenda packet. Contact the District Office and demand the ‘Strategic Update – Student Services’ report be posted publicly before the meeting. Parents have a right to know what new programs are being planned for their children.
💰 Impact: Your Child’s Data

| ALERT (LEVEL 4) |
|
Vague ‘Curricular Items’ Disposal Lacks Transparency
The agenda lists ‘Disposition of Curricular Items’ without any detail on what materials are being removed or why. This process could be used to quietly remove traditional academic materials or adopt new ones without going through the proper parental review process.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND DETAILS: The document for Item X.D is not public. Email the Board (contact info on district website) and ask: ‘Please publicly release the list of ‘Curricular Items’ slated for disposition under Item X.D. Parents deserve to know what is being removed from our children’s classrooms.’
💰 Impact: Lack of Curriculum Transparency
