District to Install AI-Powered Surveillance in Bathrooms, Locker Rooms
Policy 7440.02, up for a vote as part of Item 9.B, authorizes ‘smart sensor and electronic monitoring equipment’ in school buildings, explicitly including restrooms and locker rooms. The policy allows for using Artificial Intelligence (AI) to monitor and analyze footage, creating an unprecedented surveillance system that violates students’ reasonable expectation of privacy.
Recommended Action Plan
PACK THE ROOM: The Board is voting on Item 9.B, which includes Policy 7440.02, allowing AI-powered surveillance in student bathrooms and locker rooms. This is a non-negotiable violation of our children’s privacy. Email the Board (contact info on district website) and sign up for public comment: ‘Vote NO on Policy 7440.02. We will not allow our children to be monitored by AI cameras in private spaces like bathrooms and locker rooms.’
💰 Impact: Your Child’s Privacy

Board Pushing $79 Million Referendum Despite Low Public Support
Under Item 4.A, the board is discussing a resolution for a $79 million referendum to update the North Campus. A recent community survey, attached to the agenda, shows that overall public support is below 50%, with 71% of non-supporters citing the high cost and tax impact as their primary reason.
Recommended Action Plan
URGENT – TAX INCREASE: The Board is moving forward with a $79M referendum resolution under Item 4.A, even though their own survey shows it lacks majority support. Email the Board (contact info on district website) and sign up for public comment: ‘Do not put a $79 million referendum on the ballot when your own data shows the community does not support it. We demand fiscal responsibility, not massive tax hikes.’
💰 Impact: $79 Million Tax Increase

District Signals Major Overhaul of High School Math Program
Curriculum committee minutes attached to Item 6.A reveal a ‘new vision’ for the math program, citing a need to address ‘ceilings for some students and lack of access for others.’ This is often the first step toward eliminating advanced math tracks and honors courses in the name of ‘equity.’
Recommended Action Plan
PARENTS OF MATH STUDENTS, TAKE ACTION: Item 6.A reveals plans to overhaul the high school math program, using language that signals a move away from advanced tracks. Email the Board (contact info on district website) and show up to demand answers: ‘Before any changes are made to the math program, we demand the district publish the data justifying this ‘new vision’ and hold public forums to get parental input on any proposed changes to course sequences and advanced options.’
💰 Impact: Future of Advanced Math

District Sending Delegate to Vote on Lobbying Positions
The district is sending a board member to the Wisconsin Association of School Boards (WASB) Delegate Assembly to vote on 2027 legislative resolutions, as noted in the report for Item 8.A. This means our district will be using its voice to influence state-level legislation, potentially lobbying for or against parental rights bills with taxpayer-funded resources.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND A VOICE: Contact the Board regarding Item 8.A (contact info on district website). ‘Before the WASB Delegate Assembly, we demand the Board publicly disclose and vote on every legislative resolution our district’s representative will be supporting or opposing. Taxpayer resources should not be used for lobbying without transparent community approval.’
💰 Impact: Taxpayer-Funded Lobbying

Board President Given Unchecked Power to Silence Parents
Policy 0167.3, which governs public comment under Item 3.A, gives the Board President the ‘authority to cease any conversation, at any time, for any reason.’ This rule allows one person to arbitrarily shut down any parent’s speech without cause, effectively silencing community feedback and chilling free speech.
Recommended Action Plan
Sign up for public comment to challenge Policy 0167.3. Email the Board (contact info on district website): ‘The rule allowing the Board President to ‘cease any conversation, at any time, for any reason’ is an unacceptable restriction on free speech. We demand this arbitrary power be removed from the public comment policy.’
💰 Impact: Silencing Dissent

District Quietly Expands ‘Bullying’ Definition
Under the guise of a ‘technical correction’ in Item 9.C, the district is changing the definition of bullying in Policy 5517.01. It removes a specific list of protected characteristics and instead references Policy 2260, which could quietly incorporate controversial concepts like ‘gender identity’ into the official bullying policy without public debate.
Recommended Action Plan
ASK FIRST: Email the Board regarding Item 9.C, Policy 5517.01 (contact info on district website). ‘Why is the definition of bullying being changed to reference another policy? Please provide the full text of all ‘Protected Classes’ included in Policy 2260 so parents understand exactly what this new bullying policy will cover before you vote.’
💰 Impact: Redefined Bullying Policy

District Codifies Parental Right to Challenge Library Books
Policy 2522, part of the ‘Technical Corrections’ in Item 9.C, establishes a formal process for parents and residents to request the reconsideration of library materials. The policy creates a Reconsideration Committee, including a community member, and allows for appeals to the full Board, ensuring a structured path for parental input.
How to Lock It In
SECURE THIS WIN: Show up to thank the Board for adopting Policy 2522 under Item 9.C. This policy provides a clear process for parental review of library books and should be celebrated and used as a model for other districts. Publicly supporting it makes it harder to weaken or reverse later.
