Heads up! Our parent watchdogs have scanned the upcoming agenda for Evanston CCSD 65. We found 5 items that need your immediate attention before the vote.
| 🚨 HIGH CONCERN (LEVEL 10) |
|
Removing Parental Notice for Sexual Abuse Instruction
The board is voting on Policy 4.165, which removes the requirement to give parents of K-8 students written notice before sexual abuse prevention instruction is taught. This change eliminates a critical layer of parental oversight on one of the most sensitive topics taught in schools.
Recommended Action Plan
PACK THE ROOM: This is a critical threat to parental rights. Email the Board (contact info on the district website via the Official Agenda link): ‘Vote NO on the update to Policy 4.165. Parents have an absolute right to be notified before our children are taught sensitive material on sexual abuse.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Parental Consent

| 🚨 HIGH CONCERN (LEVEL 9) |
|
District Adopts Formal “Social Emotional Learning” Policy
The board is adopting Policy 6.65, which formally embeds Social Emotional Learning (SEL) into the curriculum. This policy opens the door for universal mental health screening and prioritizes teaching feelings and social skills over core academics.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Email the Board (contact info on the district website via the Official Agenda link): ‘I oppose the adoption of Policy 6.65. What specific curriculum will be used to teach SEL, and will parents have the right to review it and opt their children out of any associated surveys or screenings?’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Focus on Academics
|
| ⚠️ NEEDS REVIEW (LEVEL 7) |
|
Undisclosed Administrator Contract
Agenda item 8.B, “Approval of Administrator Contract,” provides no details or attached documents for public review. This lack of transparency prevents parents from knowing who is being hired, for what role, at what salary, and with what contract terms.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Email the Board (contact info on the district website via the Official Agenda link): ‘Item 8.B, Approval of Administrator Contract, must be tabled until the full contract is made public for parental review. Taxpayers have a right to see the details before it is approved.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Undisclosed Salary & Terms

| 👀 MONITOR (LEVEL 5) |
|
Mandating “Gender-Neutral” Language in District Policies
At least nine policies are being updated to enforce “gender-neutral” language, such as replacing “he/she” with “they.” This is a coordinated effort to embed gender ideology into the district’s foundational governance documents.
Recommended Action Plan
ASK THE QUESTION: Email the Board (contact info on the district website via the Official Agenda link): ‘Regarding the “gender-neutral” language updates in Press 121, how does this policy align with the biological reality of sex, and what is the district’s stance on pronouns that do not align with a student’s sex?’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Ideological Compliance
|
| ALERT (LEVEL 4) |
|
Weakening Parental Role in Title I Programs
Policy 6.170 changes the term for parent involvement from a “Compact” to a “Plan.” This subtle shift reframes the parent-school relationship from a mutual agreement to a top-down plan developed by the district, potentially diminishing the parental role in these federally funded programs.
Recommended Action Plan
ASK FOR CLARITY: Email the Board (contact info on the district website via the Official Agenda link): ‘Regarding Policy 6.170, why is the district moving away from a parent-school “Compact” to a “Plan”? Please confirm that parents will still be treated as equal partners in the development and implementation of Title I programs.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Reduced Parental Partnership
