Heads up! Our parent watchdogs have scanned the upcoming agenda for Hawthorn CCSD 73. We found 5 items that need your immediate attention before the vote.
| ⚠️ NEEDS REVIEW (LEVEL 6) |
|
District Consolidating Student Data Into Single Platform
Minutes from August 4th reveal the district’s ‘Data Team’ is working to ‘consolidate data sources into a single platform.’ While framed as an efficiency measure, this creates a powerful tool for student surveillance and data mining without clear parental oversight or consent.
Recommended Action Plan
ASK QUESTIONS: Email the district at ezopj@hawthorn73.org: ‘Regarding the data consolidation project mentioned in the August 4th minutes, what specific student data points are being collected, who is the vendor for this platform, and what are the parental consent and opt-out policies for this data collection?’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Your Child’s Privacy

Undefined Grant Plan Requires Scrutiny
The board is discussing an ‘SMPG Grant Plan’ without defining the grant or its purpose. Federal and state grants often come with ideological strings attached, mandating specific curricula or data collection on students that parents are not informed about.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: Open the file attached to item 2.4 in the Official Agenda (linked above) to see the grant details. Email the district at ezopj@hawthorn73.org: ‘Regarding item 2.4, please provide the full name and source of the SMPG grant and a summary of any requirements tied to the funding.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Ideological Strings Attached

Vague ‘Grant Funding Update’ Lacks Details
The agenda includes a ‘Grant Funding Update’ with no attached report. Previous minutes confirm the district receives multiple federal grants (Title I, II, III, IV) which can mandate ideological programs or data sharing that bypasses parents.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: Open the file attached to item 2.7 in the Official Agenda (linked above) for details. Email the district at ezopj@hawthorn73.org: ‘Regarding item 2.7, please provide a list of all grants being updated, their sources, and any associated programmatic requirements.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Federal Overreach

District Forms ‘Wellness Committee’
The August 4th minutes mention the scheduling of three ‘Wellness Committee’ meetings. This term is often a Trojan horse for Social Emotional Learning (SEL) programs and mental health initiatives that can operate outside of parental view and consent.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Email the district at ezopj@hawthorn73.org: ‘Who serves on the Wellness Committee mentioned in the August 4th minutes, when are its meetings, are they open to the public, and will parents have full review and opt-out rights for any programs it recommends?’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: School-Based SEL

| ALERT (LEVEL 4) |
|
Vague Title — Manual Review Required
The agenda lists a ‘CSFT Communication Review’ under item 2.2 without defining the acronym or providing any details. Parents need to know what this group is and what communications are being reviewed to ensure it’s not a cover for new ideological initiatives.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: Open the file attached to item 2.2 in the Official Agenda (linked above) to confirm its contents. If no file is attached, email the district at ezopj@hawthorn73.org: ‘What does the acronym CSFT stand for in agenda item 2.2, and what is the subject of the communication review?’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Undisclosed
