District to ‘Automatically Enroll’ Kids in Advanced Math
The district is changing its policy (IHA) to automatically place qualifying middle schoolers into advanced math courses without getting parents’ permission first. Parents will be notified and can object, but the burden is on them to discover this and opt-out, reversing the normal process of parental consent.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link) and demand that Item 9.D be pulled from the Consent Agenda for a separate discussion. Ask the board: ‘Why is the district moving to an opt-out model that presumes parental consent, instead of an opt-in model that respects it?’
π° Impact: Your Right to Consent
