Heads up! Our parent watchdogs have scanned the upcoming agenda for Lake Bluff ESD 65. We found 4 items that need your immediate attention before the vote.
| ⚠️ NEEDS REVIEW (LEVEL 7) |
|
Board Delegate to Lobby State Legislature
The board is formalizing a process to send a delegate to the Illinois Association of School Boards (IASB). This delegate will vote on resolutions that become the IASB’s official lobbying platform, using our district’s standing to influence state laws that could impact parental rights.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND ACCOUNTABILITY: Email the Board (contact info on district website): ‘Regarding Policy 2:120-E3, who is our delegate to the IASB and how will they be directed to vote? We demand the Board’s consensus on all IASB resolutions be debated and recorded in public meetings before the delegate assembly.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Taxpayer-Funded Lobbying

Board President Can Limit Public Comment Time
The policy on public participation grants the Board President the authority to shorten the standard three-minute speaking time for parents. While presented as a time management tool, this can be used to silence dissent on controversial issues.
Recommended Action Plan
MONITOR & DEFEND: Email the Board (contact info on district website): ‘Regarding Policy 2:230, we urge the Board to use its authority to shorten public comment only in rare circumstances. Parents’ right to be heard is fundamental and must be protected.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Reduced Parent Voice

✅ Wins to Defend
Good moves worth showing up to support so they stick.

| Major Win (LEVEL 10) |
|
Parental Opt-Out for Controversial Topics Affirmed
The policy on controversial issues is being updated to cite a Supreme Court ruling (Mahmoud v. Taylor) that protects a parent’s right to opt their children out of instruction involving sensitive topics like “LGBTQ+-inclusive storybooks.” This creates a powerful tool for parents to demand notice and choice.
How to Lock It In
SECURE THIS PRECEDENT: This is a massive victory. Email the Board (contact info on district website) to praise the adoption of policy 6:80. ‘Thank you for codifying parental rights and respecting our role in guiding our children on sensitive topics. We fully support this update.’
✅ Why It Matters: Protecting Young Children

| Major Win (LEVEL 9) |
|
District Cites Precedent for Religious Opt-Outs
The district is updating its policy on teaching religion to include a new Supreme Court precedent (Mahmoud v. Taylor). This precedent affirms that schools cannot force children into instruction that undermines the religious beliefs their parents wish to instill.
How to Lock It In
AMPLIFY THIS WIN: Show up to thank the Board for adopting policy 6:70 that respects parental rights. Get this on the record so it can’t be reversed, and share this policy language with chapters in neighboring districts as a model to demand.
✅ Why It Matters: Strengthened Parental Rights
