Secret Revisions to Parental Rights Policy
The board is voting on ‘Revised Policy 331 Students/Parents’ Rights’ under Consent Agenda Item VI.F, but the text of the new policy is not attached to the agenda. Any change to a policy with this title is a major red flag that could strip parents of their rights to direct their children’s education and health decisions at school.
Recommended Action Plan
PACK THE ROOM: This is a critical threat. Email the board at schoolboardcomments@sdsm.k12.wi.us immediately: ‘I demand you pull Item VI.F from the Consent Agenda and post the full text of the revised Parental Rights policy for public review before any vote is taken. Do not vote on policies that impact our children in secret.’
💰 Impact: Your Parental Rights

Board Adopts Rules to Silence Parent Speakers
The Board is approving new Public Comment Guidelines that give the Board President the power to silence, remove, and even suspend parents from speaking at future meetings for up to six months. These rules also cap total comment time, preventing many parents from being heard on critical issues.
Recommended Action Plan
Email Board President Sophia Williams at swilliams@sdsm.k12.wi.us and the full board at schoolboardcomments@sdsm.k12.wi.us: ‘Regarding the Public Comment Guidelines under Item V, I oppose any policy that allows the board to suspend a parent’s right to speak. This is an unacceptable overreach that silences your constituents. Vote NO.’
💰 Impact: Your Right to Speak

Final Budget Vote with No Public Details
Under Item VII.C, the board is holding the final vote to approve the 2026-27 budget and tax levy. The actual budget document, detailing where millions of taxpayer dollars will be spent, is not attached to the agenda, preventing any public scrutiny of spending on consultants, non-academic programs, or ideological vendors.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Email the board at schoolboardcomments@sdsm.k12.wi.us: ‘Before the final vote on Item VII.C, the full, line-item budget must be made easily accessible to the public. We will not approve a blank check for our tax dollars.’
💰 Impact: Your Tax Dollars

| NEEDS REVIEW (LEVEL 6) |
|
Vague Title — Manual Review Required
Under Consent Agenda Item VI.E, the board is giving a second reading to a revised policy on ‘Board Policy Development and Adoption.’ The actual text of the revised policy has not been made public with the agenda, hiding how the board might be changing the rules for how all future policies are created.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: Open the file for Item VI.E attached in the Official Agenda (linked above) to confirm whether it contains sensitive policy changes. Email the board at schoolboardcomments@sdsm.k12.wi.us: ‘Pull Item VI.E from the consent agenda for public discussion. Parents deserve to know how you are changing the rules for policy creation.’
💰 Impact: Reduced Board Oversight
