Heads up! We have scanned the upcoming agenda for CHSD 128. We found 5 items that need your immediate attention before the vote.
| HIGH CONCERN (LEVEL 10) |
|
Board Cedes Control of Controversial Topics to Union
Under Item 8.B, the Board is set to approve Policy 6-80, which states the privately-negotiated teacher union contract will override public board policy on how controversial issues are taught. This effectively removes parental oversight and public accountability, hiding the real classroom rules in a document parents can’t easily see or change.
Recommended Action Plan
PACK THE ROOM: This is a critical vote. Email the Board of Education before Tuesday’s meeting (contact info on the district website): ‘Vote NO on the revisions to Policy 6-80 in Item 8.B. The Board, not a private union contract, must have the final say on what is taught in our classrooms.’
💰 Impact: Loss of Public Oversight

| HIGH CONCERN (LEVEL 8) |
|
Union Contract to Override Employee Suspension Policy
A proposed change to Policy 5-240 (Item 8.B) would allow the private union contract to supersede the public board policy on employee suspension and discipline. This weakens the Board’s ability to hold staff accountable for misconduct and reduces transparency for parents.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND ACCOUNTABILITY: Email the Board of Education (contact info on the district website): ‘Before voting on Item 8.B, remove the clause in Policy 5-240 that allows the CBA to override Board policy. The Board must retain its authority over employee discipline.’
💰 Impact: Reduced Accountability

Tax Dollars Fund ‘Equity Continuum’ Program
Hidden in the Bills Payable list (Item 7.G) are payments totaling $1,990 to ‘Frunchroom Collective’ for a ‘D128 Equity Continuum’ event. This is ideological programming, not core academics, being funded with our tax dollars through a bundled consent vote.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Email the Board of Education (contact info on the district website): ‘Pull the Bills Payable (Item 7.G) from the Consent Agenda. The Board must publicly discuss and justify spending $1,990 on an ‘Equity Continuum’ program before any vote.’
💰 Impact: $1,990

District to Spend $27,750 on Driving Simulators
The district plans to approve $27,750 for two driver’s education simulators from Fleet Pass Inc. (Item 7.G) without providing any independent evidence that this screen time is a better investment than more hands-on, real-world instruction for student drivers.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND EVIDENCE: Email the Board of Education (contact info on the district website): ‘Before approving the $27,750 expenditure for simulators in Item 7.G, please publish the independent data proving their effectiveness over traditional instruction and detail the amount of screen time they will add per student.’
💰 Impact: $27,750

Taxpayer-Funded Lobbying Report Kept From Public
Item 9.A mentions a report from the Illinois Association of School Boards (IASB), a powerful group that lobbies state government. The district uses our tax dollars for IASB membership, but the ‘Resolutions Committee Report’ detailing their political agenda is not attached for public review.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: Email the Board of Education (contact info on the district website): ‘Please publicly post the ‘IASB 2026 Resolutions Committee Report’ referenced in Item 9.A. Parents have a right to know what political positions our district’s dues are funding.’
💰 Impact: Taxpayer-Funded Lobbying
