Heads up! We have scanned the upcoming agenda for Libertyville SD 70. We found 3 items that need your immediate attention before the vote.
| HIGH CONCERN (LEVEL 8) |
|
Board to Direct Lobbyist on State-Level Policy
Under Item 12.4, the Board will direct its delegate how to vote on resolutions that set the lobbying agenda for the Illinois Association of School Boards (IASB). One key resolution proposes new ‘FOIA Safeguards’ which could make it harder for parents to get public records from the district by limiting who can make requests and creating new barriers to transparency.
Recommended Action Plan
PROTECT PARENTAL OVERSIGHT: Attend the meeting for Item 12.4. Urge the Board delegate to vote NO on the ‘FOIA Safeguards’ resolution. Email the Board (contact info on district website): ‘Vote NO on the IASB’s FOIA Safeguards resolution. Parents’ right to access public records is essential for transparency and must not be weakened.’
💰 Impact: Reduced Parental Oversight

District Approves $28,568 for Student Internet Monitoring Software
The district is paying Securly $28,568 for its ‘Internet Filtering and Alerting’ software, listed in the consent agenda’s bill list. This technology monitors students’ online activity, raising questions about what data is collected, who sees it, and whether it’s used for discipline beyond basic safety filtering.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: This payment is in the ‘Agenda of Bills’ under the Consent Agenda (Item 9.2). Email the Board (contact info on district website): ‘Regarding the $28,568 payment to Securly, what specific student data is collected and stored? Please provide the parental notification and opt-out policy for this surveillance technology before the vote.’
💰 Impact: $28,568

District Pays for ‘MTSS Coaching’ Consultant
A $1,500 payment to ‘Ali Hearn Coaching Consulting’ for ‘MTSS Coaching’ is listed in the bills. Multi-Tiered System of Supports (MTSS) is often used to implement school-wide social-emotional programming and student behavior interventions, sometimes without direct parental consent.
Recommended Action Plan
ASK QUESTIONS: This payment is hidden in the ‘Agenda of Bills’ (Item 9.2). Email the Board (contact info on district website): ‘Regarding the payment to Ali Hearn for MTSS Coaching, what specific training was provided to staff? Parents have a right to know how student behavioral and emotional data is being collected and used under the MTSS framework.’
💰 Impact: $1,500
