The School Health Advisory Committee is reviewing the PE/Health curriculum for the 2027-28 school year under Item 4. This is a critical opportunity for parents to see what is being proposed and ensure the curriculum focuses on health and fitness, not on controversial social or political ideologies before it is adopted.
Response

DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Contact the IDEA Public Schools administration before the meeting. Ask: ‘Regarding Item 4 on the SHAC agenda, will the proposed 2027-28 PE/Health curriculum materials be posted online for public review before any adoption is considered?’

New ‘Wellness Policy’ Under Review
📅 November 19, 2026

Response

ASK THE HARD QUESTIONS: Contact the IDEA Public Schools administration and ask for a copy of the draft ‘Wellness Policy & Plan’ for Item 5. Ask: ‘Does this policy include any student surveys, mental health screenings, or data sharing with third-party vendors, and what are the specific opt-out procedures for parents?’
