Heads up! Our parent watchdogs have scanned the upcoming agenda for Deerfield SD 109. We found 4 items that need your immediate attention before the vote.
🚨 HIGH CONCERN (LEVEL 9)
District Hides Ideological Spending in Consent Agenda
📅 2026-08-20
The board is set to approve payments to multiple vendors promoting social-emotional and behavioral programming, including “Safe & Civil Schools” and “Pearson Assessments” for behavioral screening. These contracts, along with the hiring of a new social worker, are bundled into the consent agenda to avoid public discussion.
Recommended Action Plan

DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Contact the Board of Education (see the Official Agenda link for contact info): ‘I demand Items 8.1.2.3 and 8.1.3 be pulled from the Consent Agenda for a separate discussion and roll-call vote. Parents deserve to know about vendors screening our children’s behavior and the hiring of non-academic staff.’

💰 Taxpayer Impact: Your Child’s Behavioral Data
⚠️ NEEDS REVIEW (LEVEL 7)
District Adopts “Equitable Outcomes” as Strategic Goal
📅 2026-08-20
The district’s new tentative budget is explicitly built around a strategic plan that includes “Equitable Outcomes” and developing students to be “emotionally resilient” and “socially skilled.” This language signals a shift from academic excellence to social-emotional engineering as a primary mission.
Recommended Action Plan

ASK THE BOARD: Contact the Board of Education (see the Official Agenda link for contact info): ‘Regarding the strategic plan in the FY27 budget, how does the district define “Equitable Outcomes”? Will this require treating students differently based on group identity rather than as individuals?’

💰 Taxpayer Impact: Replacing Academics with Activism
⚠️ NEEDS REVIEW (LEVEL 6)
District Permanently Moves $5 Million From Education Fund
📅 2026-08-20
The board is voting to permanently transfer $5 million from the “Education Fund,” which pays for teachers and classroom instruction, to the “Operations & Maintenance Fund.” While the money is intended for voter-approved construction, this permanent transfer reduces the primary fund for academics.
Recommended Action Plan

DEMAND ACCOUNTABILITY: Attend the public hearing on Item 3. Ask the board: ‘Why is this a permanent transfer out of the Education Fund instead of a one-time allocation? What guarantees do parents have that the Education Fund will be protected from future raids for non-instructional spending?’

💰 Taxpayer Impact: $5,000,000
ALERT (LEVEL 4)
Vague “Stronger Together” and “Redefine 109” Agenda Items
📅 2026-08-20
The agenda includes vague, positive-sounding items like “Stronger Together in 109” and “Redefine 109” with minimal information in the attached cover sheets. While presented as simple updates, these titles are often used as cover for introducing ideological concepts or significant changes without clear public notice.
Recommended Action Plan

MONITOR AND REPORT: Attend the meeting and listen closely to the presentations on items 4 and 7.1. Report back to the chapter on any use of ideological buzzwords or concerning policy shifts mentioned in these ‘updates’.

💰 Taxpayer Impact: Lack of Transparency
