Taxpayer-Funded Lobbying Training for Board Members?
The board is discussing sending members to a ‘2027 Advocacy Institute.’ This raises serious questions about whether taxpayer money will be used to train board members in political lobbying, potentially against parental rights. Parents must know what this institute stands for and what agenda it pushes before the district spends our money to attend.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND ANSWERS: Email the Superintendent’s assistant, Sara Balsley, at balsleys@rsd407.org and ask: ‘Regarding agenda item II-E, please provide the name of the organization hosting the 2027 Advocacy Institute and a link to its website. Parents deserve to know what political advocacy our district is considering spending tax dollars on before the board discusses attendance.’
💰 Impact: Taxpayer-Funded Lobbying

‘Strategic Plan’ Could Hide Ideological Goals
The board is holding a discussion on ‘Strategic Planning Updates.’ These long-term plans are often where districts embed concepts like ‘Equity,’ ‘Social Emotional Learning,’ or ‘Global Citizenship’ into policy, shifting focus away from core academics. This is an early warning to see what values are being written into our children’s future education.
Recommended Action Plan
ATTEND & REPORT: This is a ‘Work Study,’ meaning the board is discussing future policy. Attend the meeting at 4:00 PM and listen closely to the ‘Strategic Planning Updates’ under Item II-D. Report back to the chapter on any mention of ‘equity,’ ‘SEL,’ ‘whole child,’ or other ideological jargon.
💰 Impact: Future Academic Focus

Who Gets to Advise the School Board?
The board is discussing the process and criteria for selecting student representatives. It’s critical to ensure this process is fair and transparent, selecting students who represent the general student body, not just activist groups. This discussion could change who has influence over board decisions.
Recommended Action Plan
MONITOR: Pay attention to the discussion on Item II-A, ‘Student Rep Process and Criterion.’ The goal is a fair process that represents all students, not a system that elevates one political viewpoint. No immediate action is needed, but we need to know what direction this is heading.
💰 Impact: Biased Board Influence
