Heads up! Our parent watchdogs have scanned the upcoming agenda for Kokomo School Corporation. We found 5 items that need your immediate attention before the vote.
| 🚨 HIGH CONCERN (LEVEL 8) |
|
District Can Share Your Child’s Info Without Consent
The board is holding a final vote on revised Policy 8330, which defines broad “directory information” (name, address, photo, DOB) that can be released without your permission. It also gives the district wide latitude to share your child’s full record with other schools or government officials in a “health or safety emergency,” a term they can define.
Recommended Action Plan
PACK THE ROOM: This is the final vote on a policy that weakens your control over your child’s private data. Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link) and tell the Board: ‘Vote NO on Policy 8330. Parents must have opt-in consent for data sharing, not a narrow opt-out window.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Your Child’s Privacy

| ⚠️ NEEDS REVIEW (LEVEL 7) |
|
Vague Title — Manual Review Required
The board is introducing a new “Student and Staff Acceptable Use Policy.” These policies often contain rules about online speech, definitions of harassment, and student monitoring that can be used to enforce ideological conformity. The actual text of the policy was not included in the agenda packet.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: Open the file ‘First Reading – Revised Policy 7540.4 Student and Staff Acceptable Use Policy 9-9-26.pdf’ attached in the Official Agenda (linked above) to confirm whether it contains sensitive policy changes regarding student speech or monitoring.
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Student Free Speech

| ⚠️ NEEDS REVIEW (LEVEL 6) |
|
New Hurdles for Accessing Public Documents
The board is holding a final vote on revised Policy 8310, which gives a “records access officer” the power to deny requests they “suspect” are for “data scraping.” This vague language could be used to block legitimate parental inquiries into curriculum, spending, or other district operations.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link) and tell the Board: ‘Regarding Policy 8310, who defines ‘data scraping’? This policy must not create barriers for parents seeking to understand what is happening in our schools. Amend the policy to protect parental oversight.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Reduced Transparency
|
| ⚠️ NEEDS REVIEW (LEVEL 6) |
|
Vague Title — Manual Review Required
The board is reviewing the annual “Head Start Program Information Report.” Head Start is a federal program that often comes with mandates for specific social-emotional or equity-based programming. The 14MB report detailing the district’s compliance was not included in the agenda packet.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: Open the file ‘Support Doc – 2025-2026 Head Start Program Information Report PIR 9-9-26.pdf’ attached in the Official Agenda (linked above) to find out what social programming is tied to this federal funding.
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Federal Strings Attached

| ALERT (LEVEL 3) |
|
Ideological Language in District Mission
The district’s mission statement, printed on its agendas, is “to develop global-minded, compassionate, and lifelong learners for a changing world.” The term “global-minded” is often a euphemism for “Global Citizenship” programs that can de-emphasize American civics and values.
Recommended Action Plan
Monitor: This language is a red flag. Track how ‘global-minded’ is defined in curriculum and professional development. No immediate action required, but be aware.
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Replacing Civics with Activism
