District Can Share Your Child’s Personal Info By Default
The district is updating its ‘Directory Information’ policy (5990), which allows them to share your child’s name, address, phone, photo, and more with outside groups like military recruiters without your specific consent. Parents only have a 15-day window at the start of the school year to opt-out in writing, a deadline that is easily missed.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link) and ask the Board: ‘Regarding First Reading Item 6.01, Policy 5990, how will you proactively and repeatedly notify every parent about the short 15-day window to opt-out of sharing their child’s personal data? An easily-missed notice is not meaningful consent.’
💰 Impact: Your Child’s Privacy

Vague University Partnership — Manual Review Required
The board is voting to approve a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Indiana University Indianapolis. The agenda provides no details on the purpose of this partnership, which could range from routine student teaching to sensitive student data research or ideological programming.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: Open the files attached to Item 6.05 in the Official Agenda (linked above) to confirm the purpose of this university partnership. If it involves student surveys or data sharing, email the Board to demand full transparency and parental opt-out rights before the vote.
💰 Impact: Undisclosed

Vague ‘Immersion Trip’ on Consent Agenda
Buried in the consent agenda is an ‘Immersion Trip’ for the 2026-2027 school year. The agenda provides no details on the destination, cost, or educational purpose of this trip, which could have ideological components.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: Open the file ‘Memo-2026-2027 Immersion Trip 10-7-26.pdf’ attached to Item 4.02 in the Official Agenda (linked above). If the trip has an ideological or political focus, email the Board to demand Item 4.02 be pulled from the Consent Agenda for a separate discussion and vote.
💰 Impact: Undisclosed

| Major Win (LEVEL 7) |
|
Win! District Offers Parents More Control Over School Devices
The revised Acceptable Use Policy (7540.4) includes a new ‘Parent-Enabled Filtering’ section. This gives parents the right to request stronger content filters and set time limits on their child’s school-issued device when it’s used at home.
How to Lock It In
SECURE THE WIN: Show up to thank the Board for including ‘Parent-Enabled Filtering’ in Policy 7540.4 under Item 5.01. Publicly praise this move to empower parents and ask: ‘How will the district ensure every parent knows about this new tool and how to use it?’ This creates a public record and makes it a model for other districts.
✅ Why It Matters: Parental Empowerment
