Heads up! We have scanned the upcoming agenda for Diamond Lake SD 76. We found 4 items that need your immediate attention before the vote.
| HIGH CONCERN (LEVEL 8) |
|
Vague Title β Manual Review Required for District Budget
The board is voting to approve the entire 2026-2027 district budget under Item V.C. The budget document itself is not included in the agenda text, making it impossible for parents to see if funds are allocated to ideological consultants, SEL programs, or other controversial initiatives before the vote.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: The full budget document for Item V.C. must be reviewed. Open the file attached in the Official Agenda (linked above) or demand the district publish it immediately to confirm whether it contains funding for DEI/SEL vendors or other ideological programs.
π° Taxpayer Impact: Undisclosed Spending

| NEEDS REVIEW (LEVEL 7) |

Bundling Unknown Items for a Single Vote
The board is using an “Omnibus Vote Agenda” (Item V.A.) to approve multiple items with a single vote, a common tactic to pass controversial items without discussion. The specific items being bundled are not listed, preventing parents from knowing what policies or contracts are being rubber-stamped.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link) and demand the full list of items included in the Omnibus Vote Agenda (Item V.A.) be published for public review. Parents have a right to know what is being voted on before it passes without discussion.
π° Taxpayer Impact: Reduced Board Oversight

| NEEDS REVIEW (LEVEL 6) |
|
Vague Title β Manual Review Required for E-Learning Plan
The board is approving the district’s E-Learning Plan under Item V.D. The details of this plan, which could include policies on student data collection, privacy, and the software used for instruction, are not provided in the agenda, hiding potential surveillance or ideological content from parents.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: Open the file for Item V.D. attached in the Official Agenda (linked above) to confirm the E-Learning Plan does not violate student privacy or mandate ideological software platforms.
π° Taxpayer Impact: Your Child’s Data

| MONITOR (LEVEL 5) |

District Participation in Taxpayer-Funded Lobbying Group
The agenda notes participation in the “Annual ED-RED Kick-Off Luncheon.” ED-RED is a political lobbying organization for school districts that often uses taxpayer funds to lobby the state legislature against parental rights initiatives, such as curriculum transparency.
Recommended Action Plan
ASK THE BOARD: Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link): ‘What is the total annual cost of the district’s membership in ED-RED? Will the board commit to disclosing every legislative position ED-RED takes on the district’s behalf using our tax dollars?’
