Heads up! Our parent watchdogs have scanned the upcoming agenda for Prospect Heights SD 23. We found 2 items that need your immediate attention before the vote.
🚨 HIGH CONCERN (LEVEL 8)
New Legal Precedent for Opting-Out of Ideological Lessons
📅 Policy Committee Meeting July 28, 2026
The district is reviewing its policy on ‘Teaching About Controversial Issues’ (Policy 6:80). The official legal guidance attached to the policy cites a new Supreme Court ruling (Mahmoud v. Taylor) that affirms parents’ rights to opt their elementary-age children out of instruction involving ‘LGBTQ+-inclusive storybooks’ on the grounds of religious freedom. This is a major acknowledgment of parental rights. The district now knows it cannot force this content on your kids, but they won’t act unless we force them to create a clear opt-out process.
Recommended Action Plan

DEMAND CLARITY: This policy update proves the district knows it can’t force ideology on our kids. Email the Board of Education: ‘In light of the legal guidance in Policy 6:80, I demand the district immediately create and publicize a simple, clear form for parents to opt their children out of any lesson, book, or material that conflicts with our family’s beliefs, including those on gender and sexuality.’ Advise members to verify board contact information on the district website.

💰 Taxpayer Impact: Erosion of Parental Rights if Ignored.
⚠️ NEEDS REVIEW (LEVEL 6)
Protecting Religious Beliefs in the Classroom
📅 Policy Committee Meeting July 28, 2026
Under agenda item III.A.4, the district is reviewing Policy 6:70, ‘Teaching About Religions.’ The legal notes for this policy now state that the school cannot force children into instruction that poses a ‘very real threat of undermining’ the religious beliefs parents wish to instill. This strengthens parents’ ability to challenge any curriculum, not just on sexuality but on any topic, that contradicts their family’s faith.
Recommended Action Plan

ASSERT YOUR RIGHTS: Email the Board of Education: ‘Policy 6:70 acknowledges that you cannot undermine our religious beliefs. We expect this to be respected across all subjects, from science to social studies. What is the district’s process for reviewing curriculum for religious conflicts and allowing parental opt-outs?’ Advise members to verify board contact information on the district website.

💰 Taxpayer Impact: Curriculum Overreach.
