Heads up! Our parent watchdogs have scanned the upcoming agenda for CCSD 93. We found 8 items that need your immediate attention before the vote.
| 🚨 HIGH CONCERN (LEVEL 9) |
|
Changes to Public Comment Policy Hidden from View
The board is reviewing Policy 2:230, which governs public participation at meetings, but the actual text of the proposed changes was not included in the agenda. This policy is being moved forward on the consent agenda (Item 7.b.8), preventing public discussion on rules that could limit parents’ right to speak.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Email the Board (contact info on district website): ‘Pull Item 7.b.8 from the Consent Agenda. Parents demand a full public discussion on any changes to Policy 2:230 regarding public comment, and the full text must be provided before the meeting.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Your Right to Speak

Potential SEL Curriculum Purchase Hidden in Bills
A payment of $3,840 is scheduled for ‘The Center: Resources Teaching & Learning’ for an ‘ISEL Online Annual Subscription’ (Item 7.b.3). ‘ISEL’ very likely stands for ‘Illinois Social and Emotional Learning.’ This appears to be a purchase of an SEL curriculum, hidden in the bills list and bundled on the consent agenda to avoid scrutiny.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND ANSWERS: Email the Board (contact info on district website): ‘Pull the bills list from the Consent Agenda. What does ‘ISEL’ stand for in the payment to ‘The Center’? If this is for Social and Emotional Learning, parents demand a full public review of the curriculum before any purchase is approved.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: $3,840

Board Adopts DEI and Social Justice as Official Goals
The Board’s official goals for 2024-2026 include ‘Support the District’s Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Policy’ and establishing a culture of ‘social justice.’ This confirms the district is prioritizing a political ideology over academic excellence and using taxpayer funds to do it.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND ACCOUNTABILITY: Email the Board (contact info on district website): ‘I am concerned by Goal 5 in the Board’s 2024-2026 goals. Please provide the district’s official definitions for ‘Equity’ and ‘social justice’ and explain how they improve math and reading scores.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Replacing Academics with Activism

Vague Policy Updates Rushed for Immediate Adoption
The board plans to immediately adopt a batch of policy updates (Item 4.f) without a separate vote by bundling them into the consent agenda (Item 7.b.7). The full text of these policies was not provided, preventing parents from reviewing the changes before they become official.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE & OBJECT: Email the Board (contact info on district website): ‘Item 7.b.7 must be pulled from the Consent Agenda. The public cannot consent to policies they haven’t been allowed to read. Post the full text of all policies under ‘Immediate Adoption’ now.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Reduced Board Oversight

| ⚠️ NEEDS REVIEW (LEVEL 6) |
|
New ‘Threat Assessment’ Team to Target Students
The district is implementing a ‘Threat Assessment’ protocol to ‘assess and intervene’ with students who are deemed a threat. This creates a formal system where a team of administrators and mental health staff can make subjective judgments about your child, potentially leading to labeling and interventions without full parental control.
Recommended Action Plan
ASK THE BOARD: Email the Board (contact info on district website): ‘Regarding the Threat Assessment protocol in Item 4.b, what specific, objective criteria are used to identify a student for assessment? What are the full, un-redacted parental notification and consent rights at every step of this process?’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Your Child’s School Record

|
Board to Appoint Delegate to State Lobbying Group
Under Item 4.f, the board is creating a new resolution to appoint a delegate to the Illinois Association of School Boards (IASB) Delegate Assembly. The IASB is a political organization that lobbies the state legislature, often against parental rights. This means the district is using its official position to engage in political lobbying.
Recommended Action Plan
QUESTION THE ALLIANCE: Email the Board (contact info on district website): ‘Regarding the IASB delegate in Item 4.f, what is the IASB’s official platform on parental rights in education? Will the public be able to instruct the delegate on how to vote on our behalf?’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Taxpayer-Funded Lobbying

Suspicious Vendor ‘Teen Parent Connection’ in Bills
The district is paying $4,275 to ‘Teen Parent Connection’ using funds from the federal Project AWARE grant (Item 7.b.3). This vendor’s name suggests it may provide services or curriculum related to teen pregnancy or sex education, potentially without parental knowledge or consent.
Recommended Action Plan
VERIFY THIS VENDOR: Email the Board (contact info on district website): ‘Regarding the payment to Teen Parent Connection in the bills list, what specific services is this vendor providing to students, and is explicit parental consent required for a child to participate?’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: $4,275 (Federal Strings Attached)

| ALERT (LEVEL 4) |
|
Outside Group Attempting to Harvest Student Data
A FOIA request log (Item 5.b) shows ‘The Sentinel Scholars Foundation’ recently tried to obtain a directory of all students and their parents’ email addresses. While the district correctly denied the request, this shows that outside organizations are actively trying to get your family’s private data from the school.
Recommended Action Plan
MONITOR & THANK: Email the Board (contact info on district website): ‘Thank you for denying the FOIA request from The Sentinel Scholars Foundation for student and parent data. Please remain vigilant in protecting our families’ privacy from data miners.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Your Family’s Privacy
