Heads up! Our parent watchdogs have scanned the upcoming agenda for Cicero SD 99. We found 5 items that need your immediate attention before the vote.
| 🚨 HIGH CONCERN (LEVEL 8) |
|
23 Policy Revisions Buried on Consent Agenda
The board is pushing through a ‘First Reading’ of revisions to 23 different policies at once by hiding them on the consent agenda. This is a common tactic to avoid public discussion and accountability on potentially massive changes to district rules.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Email the Board President (contact info on district website): ‘I demand Item XIII.O, the batch of 23 policy revisions, be pulled from the Consent Agenda. Each policy must be discussed and voted on separately so the public can understand what is being changed.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Reduced Board Oversight

| ⚠️ NEEDS REVIEW (LEVEL 7) |
|
Entire Tentative Budget Hidden on Consent Agenda
The board is seeking approval for the entire 2026-2027 tentative budget as part of a single, bundled ‘consent agenda’ vote. This maneuver prevents any public discussion or a dedicated roll-call vote on how the district plans to spend millions of taxpayer dollars.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND A SEPARATE VOTE: Email the Board President (contact info on district website): ‘The district’s budget is too important to be passed without discussion. I demand Item XIII.Q be pulled from the Consent Agenda for a full presentation and a separate roll-call vote.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Lack of Fiscal Transparency

Federal ’21st Century’ Grant Program at 10 Schools
The district is approving a partnership for ’21st Century Community Learning Centers’ at ten schools. This is a federal grant program that often comes with ideological strings attached, requiring schools to adopt specific social-emotional learning (SEL) or equity programming.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link) and ask: ‘What are the specific curriculum requirements tied to the federal 21st Century Community Learning Centers grant in Item XIII.L? Parents have a right to review all materials before this partnership is approved.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Federal Strings Attached

| 👀 MONITOR (LEVEL 5) |

Vague New Policy on Recording Special Ed (IEP) Meetings
The board is introducing a new policy on audio recording IEP meetings. While this could be a major win for parents of special needs children, the actual policy text is not provided, making it impossible to know if it empowers parents or protects the district.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: Open the file for Policy 6:350 attached in the Official Agenda (linked above) to confirm whether this policy empowers parents or protects the district. This could be a win, but we must verify the language.
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Unknown Policy Details

| ALERT (LEVEL 4) |
|
University Psychology Students to Conduct ‘Field Work’ in Schools
An agreement with National Louis University will place their psychology students in our schools for ‘field experiences.’ This opens the door for university-level psychological theories and data collection on our children, bypassing direct parental oversight.
Recommended Action Plan
ASK QUESTIONS: Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link): ‘Regarding Item XIII.M, what specific activities will psychology students be conducting with our children? Will parents be notified and have the right to opt-out of any interactions?’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Student Psychological Evaluation
