Heads up! We have scanned the upcoming agenda for Bannockburn SD 106. We found 3 items that need your immediate attention before the vote.
| HIGH CONCERN (LEVEL 8) |
|
Tax Levy Increase Hidden on Consent Agenda
The board is bundling the ‘Approval of Tentative Levy’ (Item 6.g) with routine administrative items in a single up-or-down vote. This tactic prevents a public discussion and a separate, recorded vote on a decision that will raise property taxes for every family in the district.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Contact the Board of Education (see the Official Agenda link for contact info) before the meeting: ‘I demand Item 6.g, the Approval of Tentative Levy, be pulled from the Consent Agenda for a separate discussion and a roll-call vote. The public deserves to hear the board debate this tax increase openly.’
π° Impact: Higher Property Taxes

Final Vote on Undisclosed Policy Changes
The board is holding a final vote on ‘policy updates 122’ (Item 6.i) and has bundled it into the consent agenda. The agenda does not include the text of these policy changes, so parents have no way of knowing what new rules are being passed.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: Open the file for Item 6.i attached in the Official Agenda (linked above) to confirm whether it contains sensitive policy changes. Email the Board to demand this item be pulled from consent for a full public reading and discussion before the final vote.
π° Impact: Undisclosed Policy Changes

Board Pre-Approves Two Months of Undisclosed Spending
The board plans to give the Superintendent a blank check to pay all bills for the rest of October and all of November without prior board review, because they are skipping the November meeting. This eliminates real-time oversight of district spending for two months; the board will only see the list of payments after the money is gone.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND OVERSIGHT: Contact the Board of Education (see the Official Agenda link for contact info): ‘Regarding Item 6.j, the board’s primary duty is fiscal oversight. Pre-authorizing two months of spending without review abdicates that duty. Vote NO on this item and schedule a special meeting if necessary to approve expenditures.’
π° Impact: Reduced Board Oversight
