Heads up! Our parent watchdogs have scanned the upcoming agenda for North Shore SD 112. We found 4 items that need your immediate attention before the vote.
| 🚨 HIGH CONCERN (LEVEL 8) |
|
New Policy Guidance on ‘Controversial’ Topics
The district is reviewing state-level guidance (IASB PRESS Issue 122) that directly addresses parental opt-out rights for ‘controversial’ curriculum. This guidance was prompted by a Supreme Court case where a district refused to let parents opt their elementary-age children out of literacy instruction that involved ‘LGBTQ+-inclusive storybooks.’
Recommended Action Plan
INFLUENCE THE VOTE: Email the Board before the Sept. 8 meeting (see the Official Agenda link for contact info). ‘Regarding Item 3.a, Policy 6:80, I urge you to adopt the strongest possible language affirming a parent’s right to receive notice and opt their child out of any instruction they find controversial, as supported by the Mahmoud v. Taylor Supreme Court case.’

| ⚠️ NEEDS REVIEW (LEVEL 7) |
|
Limiting Public Comment Time at Board Meetings
The board is reviewing a policy update (2:230) that sets a 30-minute maximum time limit for all public comments during a meeting. It also gives the Board President authority to shorten the standard 3-minute individual speaking time.
Recommended Action Plan
DEFEND YOUR VOICE: Email the Board before the Sept. 8 meeting (see the Official Agenda link for contact info). ‘Regarding Item 3.a, Policy 2:230, do not place arbitrary time limits on public comment. Parents are the board’s primary stakeholders, and our voices must not be constrained to a 30-minute window.’

| ⚠️ NEEDS REVIEW (LEVEL 6) |
|
Policy Update on Non-Curricular Student Clubs
The district is reviewing policy updates (IASB PRESS Issue 122) regarding the ‘Equal Access Act,’ which governs non-curricular student clubs. While framed as ‘equal access,’ these policies are often used to require districts to approve controversial, activist student groups without meaningful oversight.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND OVERSIGHT: Email the Board before the Sept. 8 meeting (see the Official Agenda link for contact info). ‘Regarding Item 3.a, Policy 7:330, please ensure the final policy includes clear standards for parental notification and robust sponsor oversight for all non-curricular clubs to prevent the introduction of inappropriate or activist content.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Activist Clubs in Schools

Review of Student Data Privacy & Security Policy
The board is conducting a periodic review of Policy 7:345, which governs how the district and its technology vendors collect and protect student data. This is a critical opportunity for parents to demand a full, public audit of all educational technology vendors and the specific student data points they are collecting.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND A DATA AUDIT: Email the Board before the Sept. 8 meeting (see the Official Agenda link for contact info). ‘As you review Policy 7:345, I request a full, public list of all educational technology operators the district contracts with and a clear accounting of what student data is being shared. Parents have a right to know who is collecting information on our children.’
