| HIGH CONCERN (LEVEL 9) |
|
First Reading of New, Undisclosed Board Policies
Item 13.a introduces new, unspecified board policies for a ‘First Reading.’ This is the first step for entrenching new rules, but the district has not provided the text of the proposed policies, preventing any parental review before the meeting.
Recommended Action Plan
PACK THE ROOM & DEMAND TO SEE THE TEXT: Contact the District Office. ‘Parents demand that the full text of all policies under Item 13.a be made public immediately. We will not accept a vote on policies we are not allowed to read.’
π° Taxpayer Impact: Your Right to Review

| HIGH CONCERN (LEVEL 9) |

Final Vote on School Budget with No Details Provided
Item 13.c is a vote to adopt the entire 2026-2027 school budget, but the budget document itself has not been provided with the agenda. This prevents parents from seeing if their tax dollars are funding DEI staff, SEL curriculum, or other ideological programs.
Recommended Action Plan
HALT THE VOTE: Contact the District Office. ‘The vote on Item 13.c, the 2026-2027 Budget, must be postponed until the full budget document is posted online for public review with at least one week for comment. Do not vote on a budget parents can’t see.’
π° Taxpayer Impact: Undisclosed Spending

| HIGH CONCERN (LEVEL 8) |

Final Vote on Secret Policies Hidden in Consent Agenda
The board plans to pass new policies under ‘Consent Agenda’ Item 5.e, bundling them with routine items to avoid a separate discussion and vote. This tactic is often used to pass controversial policies without public scrutiny.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Email the Board of Education. ‘I demand that Item 5.e, Board Policy Adoption, be pulled from the Consent Agenda for a full presentation and a separate roll-call vote. Parents have a right to know what policies you are passing.’
π° Taxpayer Impact: Reduced Board Oversight

| HIGH CONCERN (LEVEL 8) |

Board Moving $21 Million Between Funds with No Explanation
Under Item 13.d, the board is transferring $12.5 million from the Education Fund to Operations, and then $8.5 million from Operations to Capital Projects. Moving large sums of money this way obscures the final purpose and can be used to fund controversial projects without clear budget lines.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND ANSWERS: Email the Board of Education. ‘Regarding Item 13.d, I demand a detailed, public explanation for the $21 million in fund transfers. What specific projects are being funded that require moving money out of the Education fund?’
π° Taxpayer Impact: $21,000,000

| MONITOR (LEVEL 5) |
|
New ‘College and Career Navigator’ Agreement
Item 13.b approves an agreement for a ‘College and Career Navigator.’ While this sounds helpful, these roles can sometimes function as ideological guides or data-collection points, influencing students’ life paths without full parental awareness. The agreement text is not provided.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: Email the Board of Education. ‘Regarding Item 13.b, please provide the full text of the agreement with College of Lake County. What data will the ‘Navigator’ have access to, and what is the process for parental consent and oversight?’
π° Taxpayer Impact: Student Data & Guidance
