Heads up! Our parent watchdogs have scanned the upcoming agenda for Lisle CUSD 202. We found 6 items that need your immediate attention before the vote.
| 🚨 HIGH CONCERN (LEVEL 10) |
|
Data-Mining Your Child with SEL Surveys
| 📅 Vote Scheduled July 27, 2026 |
The Board is set to approve a $6,000 contract renewal with Panorama Education, Inc. for a ‘Class Companion’ tool. Panorama is a data-mining firm notorious for its Social Emotional Learning (SEL) surveys that question students on sensitive personal and family beliefs, often without direct parental consent. This payment ensures their data collection systems remain embedded in our classrooms, gathering psychological profiles on our children.
Recommended Action Plan
PACK THE ROOM: This is a critical threat. We need members at Tuesday’s meeting. Sign up for public comment and email the Board: ‘I do not consent to my child’s data being collected by Panorama Education. Vote NO on vendor payment #126995 or face a recall effort.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: $6,000.00

Hiding Student Failure with ‘Equitable Grading’ Policy
| 📅 Vote Scheduled July 27, 2026 |
Under the Consent Agenda (Item 5.A.(9)), the board is voting to approve changes to Policy 6:280, Grading and Promotion. The new language states that grades should not be reduced for ‘student behaviors (i.e. attendance, attitude, work habits).’ This is ‘equitable grading,’ a practice that separates academic knowledge from effort and responsibility. It can artificially inflate grades, misleading parents about their child’s actual performance and failing to prepare them for college and the workforce.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Email the Board of Education: ‘I demand Item 5.A.(9), Policy 6:280, be pulled from the Consent Agenda for a separate discussion and roll-call vote. Parents deserve to know which board members support removing work ethic and behavior from our children’s grades.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Academic Standards and Accountability

School-Based Mental Health Referrals That Bypass Parents
| 📅 Vote Scheduled July 27, 2026 |
The district is paying $3,825 for ‘ReferralGPS,’ a service that connects students to outside mental health providers. This system positions school staff as gatekeepers to your child’s mental healthcare, creating a pathway for them to refer students to ideologically-driven therapists or clinics without your full, informed consent or presence. This undermines your right to direct the healthcare of your child.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Email the Board of Education: ‘Regarding vendor payment #127009 to ReferralGPS, what is the exact parental notification and consent process before a student is referred to an outside provider? Parents must be the primary decision-makers in their child’s mental health.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: $3,825.00

Limiting Parent Voices at Board Meetings
| 📅 First Reading July 27, 2026 |
Under Discussion Item 7.A, the board is conducting a first reading of Policy 2:230, which would impose a 60-minute maximum time limit on public comments. This is a classic bureaucratic tactic to shut down parent opposition. When a controversial issue arises and dozens of parents show up to speak, this rule allows the board to cut them off after an hour, effectively silencing the community’s voice.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Email the Board of Education: ‘I oppose the proposed 60-minute time limit in Policy 2:230. Do not put arbitrary limits on the community’s right to hold you accountable. We will not be silenced.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Free Speech and Accountability

Massive Student Data Collection Platform Renewal
| 📅 Vote Scheduled July 27, 2026 |
The district is spending $36,917 to renew its contract for the i-Ready platform from Curriculum Associates. While presented as an academic tool, i-Ready is a powerful data collection platform that tracks student performance, clicks, and behavior. It also includes Social Emotional Learning (SEL) components, gathering data points on your child that go far beyond reading and math.
Recommended Action Plan
OPT-OUT ALERT: Email the Board of Education: ‘Regarding vendor payment #126917 to Curriculum Associates, who owns the student data collected by i-Ready? Please provide the specific parental opt-out form for the data collection and SEL components before this is voted on.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: $36,917.00

Hiring a ‘Restorative Justice’ Administrator
| 📅 Vote Scheduled July 27, 2026 |
The board is hiring a new Dean of Students (Item 5.A.(4)b) whose primary experience is in ‘restorative practice’ and ‘Tier 1 and Tier 2 interventions.’ These are code words for discipline systems that often replace consequences for misbehavior with therapy-style talking circles. This approach can undermine classroom order and safety by failing to hold students accountable for their actions.
Recommended Action Plan
MONITOR: Email the Board of Education: ‘Regarding the new Dean of Students, please provide the district’s official policy on restorative practices. Parents are concerned that this approach prioritizes the feelings of offenders over classroom safety and student accountability.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: $132,908 (Salary + Benefits)
