Heads up! Our parent watchdogs have scanned the upcoming agenda for Evanston Twp HSD 202. We found 4 items that need your immediate attention before the vote.

🚨 HIGH CONCERN (LEVEL 9)

New Rules for Teaching “Controversial Issues”

📅 2026-08-25

The district is updating its policy (6:80) on how “controversial issues” are taught. This policy dictates whether teachers must present both sides of an issue or if they are permitted to promote a specific ideology on topics like gender, race, and politics.

Recommended Action Plan

DEMAND NEUTRALITY: Contact the Board of Education (see district website for contacts): ‘Parents must be able to review the draft changes to Policy 6:80, Teaching About Controversial Issues. We expect this policy to protect students from activism and ensure balanced, age-appropriate instruction, not to license indoctrination.’

💰 Taxpayer Impact: Classroom Indoctrination

🚨 HIGH CONCERN (LEVEL 8)

Potential Changes to Public Comment Rules

📅 2026-08-25

The board is reviewing its policy on public participation (2:230). This is often where districts try to reduce speaking time or add restrictive rules that limit parents’ ability to address their elected officials on critical issues.

Recommended Action Plan

PROTECT YOUR VOICE: Contact the Board of Education (see district website for contacts): ‘I am concerned about the proposed changes to Policy 2:230 on Public Participation. Do not reduce or restrict the public’s right to address their elected officials. Any changes must expand, not limit, public comment.’

💰 Taxpayer Impact: Your Right to Speak

⚠️ NEEDS REVIEW (LEVEL 7)

Student Data Privacy Policy Under Review

📅 2026-08-25

The board is reviewing its policy on student data privacy and educational technology (7:345). These policies can open the door to data mining by third-party vendors and extensive surveillance of student activity on school-issued devices.

Recommended Action Plan

PROTECT STUDENT DATA: Email the Board of Education (see district website for contacts): ‘Regarding the review of Policy 7:345, what specific changes are being made to protect student data from third-party vendors? Parents must have the absolute right to opt-out of any data collection that is not essential for core instruction.’

💰 Taxpayer Impact: Your Child’s Data

⚠️ NEEDS REVIEW (LEVEL 6)

Vague Policy Update Package Requires Review

📅 2026-08-25

The committee is reviewing “Press Policy Issue #122,” a set of policy templates likely provided by the state’s school board association. The specific changes are not detailed in the agenda, and these updates often contain state-level ideological mandates hidden in bureaucratic language.

Recommended Action Plan

INVESTIGATE: The ‘Press Policy Issue #122 Memorandum’ is not included in the agenda. Contact the District Office to demand a copy of this document be posted publicly before the committee votes. What policies are being changed?

💰 Taxpayer Impact: Undisclosed Policy Changes
