Heads up! We have scanned the upcoming agenda for Oak Grove SD 68 Green Oaks. We found 5 items that need your immediate attention before the vote.
| HIGH CONCERN (LEVEL 10) |
|
Social-Emotional Learning (SEL) Confirmed in Classrooms
Last month’s meeting minutes and financial records confirm the district is implementing Social Emotional Learning (SEL) and Multi-Tiered System of Supports (MTSS). The principal’s report detailed ‘SEL Safety Lessons’ and the creation of a ‘Social Work Hub,’ while credit card statements show direct purchases for ‘SEL SUPPLIES.’ This system can shift focus from academics to psychological programming and student surveillance without full parental consent.
Recommended Action Plan
PACK THE ROOM: This is not a drill. Email the Board (see Official Agenda link for contacts): ‘I demand to know what specific “SEL Supplies” are being purchased and how the MTSS framework is used for behavioral and psychological interventions on our children. We do not co-parent with the government. Vote NO on any further SEL or MTSS funding.’
💰 Impact: Replacing Academics

District Buys New K-5 ‘Health’ Curriculum
The district’s check register, approved under Consent Agenda item 4.F, includes a $4,785 payment to ‘The Children’s Health Market’ for a new ‘K-5 Health curriculum.’ Parents have not been given any opportunity to review this material to ensure it is age-appropriate and free of ideological content like Comprehensive Sex Education (CSE). The district is spending tax dollars on sensitive curriculum behind closed doors.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Email the Board (see Official Agenda link for contacts): ‘Regarding the $4,785 health curriculum purchase in Consent Agenda item 4.F, I demand the full curriculum from The Children’s Health Market be made public for parental review immediately. Do not implement this material until parents have had a 60-day review and comment period.’
💰 Impact: $4,785

Board Cedes Vote to State Lobbying Group
Items 7.B.1 and 7.B.2 authorize a single delegate to vote on behalf of the entire district at the Illinois Association of School Boards (IASB) assembly. The IASB is a political lobbying group that often promotes policies that undermine local control and parental rights. This action gives away our community’s voice to an unelected representative voting on statewide resolutions with no public oversight.
Recommended Action Plan
PROTECT OUR VOTE: Email the Board (see Official Agenda link for contacts): ‘Regarding items 7.B.1 and 7.B.2, the Board must not give the IASB delegate a blank check. I demand that the Board publicly discuss and vote on each individual IASB resolution before authorizing the delegate to vote on our behalf.’
💰 Impact: Your Voice on State Policy

District Expands Student Screen Time and Tech Spending
Financial documents show the district is spending thousands on technology, including insurance for a fleet of MacBook Airs, more Chromebooks, and a $3,600 ‘AI Education Network.’ This push for more screen time comes as a parent has already raised concerns in a public meeting. The district has not provided any independent evidence that these expensive tools improve academic outcomes or justified the loss of direct instruction time.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND PROOF, NOT PRODUCTS: Email the Board (see Official Agenda link for contacts): ‘Before approving more technology spending under Consent Agenda 4.F, please publish the independent, non-vendor-funded evidence showing these products produce academic gains, and disclose the total daily screen time they add for students.’
💰 Impact: Undisclosed Screen Time

WIN: District Praised for Strict Cell Phone Ban
Last month’s meeting minutes noted that the district already has a ‘strict bell-to-bell ban for K-8’ on cell phones. This is a fantastic policy that protects instructional time, reduces distractions, and limits the negative impacts of social media on our children during the school day. This is a win for common sense and academic focus.
How to Lock It In
AMPLIFY THIS WIN: Show up or email the Board to thank them for the K-8 cell phone ban. Getting our support on the public record makes it harder for this excellent policy to be weakened or reversed later. Let’s make sure they know parents support it.
✅ Why It Matters: Protecting a Good Policy
