Heads up! Our parent watchdogs have scanned the upcoming agenda for Twp HSD 113. We found 9 items that need your immediate attention before the vote.
| 🚨 HIGH CONCERN (LEVEL 10) |
|
Parental Notification for Sex Abuse Lessons Repealed
Policy 4-165 is being updated specifically because a state law REPEALED the requirement for schools to give parents prior written notice before sexual abuse prevention instruction in grades K-8. The district is adopting this change, eliminating a key parental right to be informed about sensitive curriculum.
Recommended Action Plan
PACK THE ROOM: This is a critical violation of parental rights hidden in the Consent Agenda. Email the Board (contact info on district website): ‘Vote NO on the consent agenda until Item 9.O (Policy 4-165) is amended to PRESERVE parental notification rights for sexual abuse curriculum, regardless of the state’s minimum requirements.’

| 🚨 HIGH CONCERN (LEVEL 9) |
|
Social Emotional Learning (SEL) Officially Adopted
Policy 6-65 explicitly affirms the district’s commitment to ‘integrating social and emotional learning (SEL)’ into the curriculum. SEL is often used to introduce controversial topics like gender identity and critical race theory under the guise of teaching ‘soft skills,’ while collecting sensitive psychological data on students.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Email the Board (contact info on district website): ‘Regarding Item 9.V (Policy 6-65), what specific SEL curriculum will be used, who is the vendor, and what data will be collected on our children? Parents have a right to review all SEL materials before they enter the classroom.’

Curriculum Swap: ‘Character Ed’ Out, ‘Climate Change’ In
Under Policy 6-60, the district is making ‘notable removals’ to the curriculum, including the requirement for ‘character education.’ It is being replaced with new politically-charged priorities, including mandatory instruction on ‘climate change.’ This is a direct shift away from timeless values toward a political agenda.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND ACCOUNTABILITY: Email the Board (contact info on district website): ‘Do not approve the Consent Agenda. Item 9.U (Policy 6-60) removes character education while adding climate politics. We demand the board restore character education and keep political agendas out of the classroom.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Focus on Academics

| 🚨 HIGH CONCERN (LEVEL 8) |
|
Consultant Hired for “Inclusive” Teacher Training
The district is paying vendor ‘Open Doors’ $81,050 for ‘professional learning’ and ‘instructional coaching’ for teachers. The training focuses on ideological concepts like ‘inclusive instructional practices,’ ‘equitable access,’ and ‘Universal Design for Learning (UDL),’ which often serve as cover for replacing traditional academics with social agendas.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Email the Board (contact info on district website): ‘I demand Item 8.D, the Open Doors Service Agreement, be pulled for a separate discussion and roll-call vote. Parents deserve to know what ideological training our teachers are receiving with our tax dollars.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: $81,050

| ⚠️ NEEDS REVIEW (LEVEL 7) |
|
“Anti-Bias” Activities Added to After-School Programs
Policy 6-180 for extended (before/after-school) programs is being updated to include ‘anti-bias activities to address intergroup conflict resolution.’ This is common language for introducing divisive DEI and Critical Race Theory concepts to students, now extending beyond the regular school day.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Email the Board (contact info on district website): ‘Regarding Item 9.Z (Policy 6-180), what specific curriculum will be used for the new ‘anti-bias activities’? Parents must be allowed to review all materials before they are used with students in after-school programs.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Divisive Ideology

| ⚠️ NEEDS REVIEW (LEVEL 6) |

District Adopting Sanctuary-Style Policies
Policy 7-150 is being updated to manage interactions with law enforcement and provide ‘immigration related protections.’ This signals the district is taking a political stance on immigration enforcement, potentially hindering law enforcement and prioritizing a political agenda over cooperation with authorities.
Recommended Action Plan
ASK THE QUESTION: Email the Board (contact info on district website): ‘Regarding Item 9.DD (Policy 7-150), will this policy in any way impede or delay cooperation with federal, state, or local law enforcement? The school’s primary focus should be education and safety, not immigration politics.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Politicized Schools

Vague ‘Transition Program’ Real Estate Deal
The board is discussing and voting on an amendment to a real estate agreement for a ‘District 113 Transition Program.’ The term ‘transition’ is ambiguous and could refer to anything from special needs services to gender transitioning. No documents are attached to clarify the program’s purpose.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: The file for Item 7.C is referenced but not included in the public packet. Email the Board (contact info on district website): ‘What is the specific purpose of the ‘District 113 Transition Program’ mentioned in Item 7.C? Parents need clarity on what this program entails before any real estate agreements are amended.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Undisclosed

New Policy for Migrant Students May Overreach
The district is adopting a new policy (6-145) for migrant students that includes ‘family engagement practices.’ While sounding positive, such programs can be used to justify home visits, collect sensitive family data, and create government overreach into the home under the guise of providing services.
Recommended Action Plan
OPT-OUT ALERT: Email the Board (contact info on district website): ‘Regarding Item 9.X (Policy 6-145), what do ‘family engagement practices’ entail? Please confirm that all data collection and home visits are strictly voluntary and require explicit, opt-in parental consent.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Family Privacy

| Major Win (LEVEL 7) |

WIN: Drug & Alcohol Testing for Extracurriculars
The district is revising Policy 7-240 to establish a drug and alcohol testing program for students participating in extracurricular activities. This is a positive step toward ensuring student safety, promoting a healthy school environment, and holding student leaders accountable.
How to Lock It In
AMPLIFY THIS WIN: Show up to thank the Board for prioritizing student safety with Item 9.JJ. Email the Board (contact info on district website): ‘Thank you for implementing a drug and alcohol testing program for extracurriculars. This is a common-sense policy that protects students and promotes a positive school culture.’
