| HIGH CONCERN (LEVEL 9) |
|
District Adopting 3-Year “Equity” and “Belonging” Plan
The board is set to approve the 2026-2029 Strategic Plan (Item 9.A), which embeds ideological goals like “Culture of Belonging” and “equitable practices” into the district’s mission. The plan calls for addressing “gaps in student… outcomes” (equity) and using “Multi-Tiered System of Support (MTSS),” a framework for student data collection and intervention.
Recommended Action Plan
PACK THE ROOM & SPEAK UP: This is a critical vote. Sign up for public comment on Item 9.A. ‘The strategic plan should focus on academic excellence and equal opportunity, not the divisive goals of “equity” and “belonging.” Vote NO on this plan and return to a focus on core academics for all students.’
💰 Impact: Academics Replaced by Activism

District to Pay Lobbying Group $13,000+ to Write Its Rules
The board plans to approve a contract (Item 9.D) for over $13,000 with the Illinois Association of School Boards (IASB) to write the district’s “administrative procedures policy manual.” This outsources the creation of the district’s internal rules to an external lobbying group known for promoting progressive agendas, bypassing local parental oversight.
Recommended Action Plan
STOP THE OUTSOURCING: Email the Board and speak up on Item 9.D. ‘Vote NO on the IASB contract. Our district’s rules and procedures should be developed transparently here in our community, not outsourced to a political lobbying group. Keep local control of our schools.’
💰 Impact: $13,130+

| HIGH CONCERN (LEVEL 9) |
|
Final Vote on Policy for “Social and Emotional Development”
Under Item 9.B, the board is taking a final vote on updates to Policy 6:65, which governs “Student Social and Emotional Development.” The update specifically clarifies professional development for staff on Social Emotional Learning (SEL), further entrenching this ideology in the district.
Recommended Action Plan
FINAL VOTE ALERT: Email the Board and show up to speak on Item 9.B. ‘Vote NO on the updates to Policy 6:65. Social Emotional Learning is a Trojan horse for political ideology and has no place in our schools. Focus on academics, not activism.’
💰 Impact: Entrenching SEL Ideology

| HIGH CONCERN (LEVEL 8) |
|
Parents Investigating Secret Gender Policies
The district’s own report (Item 6.E) shows it spent over 67 hours processing public records requests in the last month, with multiple requests targeting “Gender support guidelines” and “Gender identity curriculum.” This confirms that parents are actively investigating policies that could allow the district to socially transition children without parental consent.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND ANSWERS: Show up for public comment (Item 6.C) and ask: ‘The FOIA report shows intense public interest in gender support policies. When will the board hold a public discussion and vote on its policies for handling student gender identity, pronouns, and parental notification?’
💰 Impact: Taxpayer-Funded Stonewalling

| HIGH CONCERN (LEVEL 8) |
|
Final Vote on 20 Undisclosed Policy Changes
The board is scheduled for a final vote on a bundle of 20 policy updates from “PRESS PLUS Issue 122” (Item 9.C). The district has not provided the text of these policies or even a summary of the changes, preventing any public review before they become official.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE & DELAY: Open the files attached to Item 9.C in the Official Agenda (linked above) to see what is hidden in these 20 policies. Email the Board to demand they postpone the vote on this item until the full text of all proposed changes is made easily available to the public for review.
💰 Impact: Lack of Transparency
|
| NEEDS REVIEW (LEVEL 7) |
|
District Spending Over $23,000 on Student Data & Screen Time Programs
The consent agenda (Item 8.G) bundles payments for “DreamBox Reading Plus” ($2,354) and a “Renaissance/STAR Subscription” ($20,843). These programs increase student screen time and collect vast amounts of student data, often without clear evidence of academic gains.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND EVIDENCE: Email the Board to pull Item 8.G from the Consent Agenda. ‘Before approving over $23,000 for DreamBox and Renaissance, please publish the independent, non-vendor-supplied evidence that these programs produce academic gains, and state how much daily screen time they add to a student’s day.’
💰 Impact: $23,197
|
| NEEDS REVIEW (LEVEL 6) |
|
Vague Policy on “Controversial Issues” in Class
The board is reviewing Policy 6-80 (Item 7.C), which governs how “controversial or sensitive topics” are taught. While it calls for a “balanced view,” the policy gives the Superintendent total control to decide what is appropriate, potentially opening the door for one-sided ideological presentations.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND CLARITY: Email the Board before the meeting. ‘Regarding the First Reading of Policy 6-80, I demand the policy include a clear, parent-led review process for any curriculum or guest speaker addressing controversial issues. Do not give the administration a blank check to define what is ‘balanced’.’
💰 Impact: Administrative Discretion
|
| MONITOR (LEVEL 5) |
|
Ideological Spending Hidden in Consent Agenda
Hidden in the bills list (Item 8.G) are payments confirming ideological activities, including a reimbursement for “Microaggression training” and a $1,500 fee for a “LatinX Summit” speaker. These items show the district is spending tax dollars on divisive concepts and politically-charged events.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Email the Board to pull Item 8.G from the Consent Agenda for discussion. ‘Parents deserve to know why tax dollars are funding microaggression training and ideological summits. These expenses should be publicly debated, not hidden in a bundle.’
💰 Impact: $1,559+
