Heads up! Our parent watchdogs have scanned the upcoming agenda for Nadaburg Unified School District (4252). We found 5 items that need your immediate attention before the vote.
| 🚨 HIGH CONCERN (LEVEL 9) |
|
Policy Allows Child Protective Services to Interview Students at School
Item 4.7 proposes adopting Policy 5-402, which gives the Department of Child Safety (DCS) explicit access to student records and allows them to interview students at school. This could happen without parents being notified or present, stripping them of their right to be involved in official interviews concerning their own child.
Recommended Action Plan
PACK THE ROOM: This is a direct threat to your right to be present when an official questions your child. Contact the Governing Board (see the Official Agenda link for contact details): ‘Vote NO on the adoption of Policy 5-402 in Item 4.7. Parents must be notified and present for any DCS interviews of their children on school grounds.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Parental Consent Bypassed

New System to Identify Learning Disabilities Could Lead to Student Labeling
Item 4.8 introduces a policy for identifying students with disabilities using a ‘response to…intervention’ model. This is a key component of Multi-Tiered System of Supports (MTSS), which can lead to data collection and student interventions without full parental consent or a formal evaluation.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link for contact details): ‘Regarding Item 4.8 and Policy 5-203, what specific parental consent is required before a child is placed in a ‘response to intervention’ tier? We oppose any system that collects data and applies interventions without explicit, opt-in parental permission.’

Federal Grant Funds ’21st Century’ After-School Programs
The budget in Item 4.5 includes $308,427 for ‘ESEA Title IV – 21st Century Schools,’ and Item 4.3 hires multiple teachers for this program. These federal grants often mandate Social Emotional Learning (SEL) and ‘global citizen’ style curricula in after-school settings, replacing academic enrichment.
Recommended Action Plan
OPT-OUT ALERT: Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link for contact details): ‘Regarding the 21st Century Schools grant in Item 4.5, please provide the full curriculum and parental opt-out forms for all non-academic components, including any Social Emotional Learning modules.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: $308,427 (Federal Strings Attached)

| ALERT (LEVEL 4) |

State-Mandated ‘Resources’ on Sexual Contact Coming to Schools
Item 4.7 discusses Policy 1-401.A, which requires the district to make state-developed ‘educational resources’ on preventing ‘inappropriate contact, including sexual contact’ available to students. While the goal sounds worthy, the content is unknown and could be a vehicle for introducing Comprehensive Sex Ed concepts without parental review.
Recommended Action Plan
MONITOR & DEMAND REVIEW: Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link for contact details): ‘Regarding Policy 1-401.A in Item 4.7, we demand that all state-provided resources on sexual contact be subject to a full parental review and opt-in process before being made available to any students.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Unvetted Curriculum

✅ Wins to Defend
Good moves worth showing up to support so they stick.

| Major Win (LEVEL 7) |
|
District Adopts Policy Increasing Transparency
Under Item 4.7, the board is adopting Policy 1-302, which will prohibit placing tax rate decisions and action items that follow a closed-door executive session onto the ‘consent agenda’ for a bundled, no-discussion vote. This is a win for transparency, forcing these important items to be discussed and voted on individually in public.
How to Lock It In
AMPLIFY THE WIN: Show up or email the Governing Board (see the Official Agenda link for contact details) to thank them for adopting Policy 1-302 in Item 4.7. ‘Thank you for strengthening transparency by ensuring tax rates and post-executive session votes are held in the open. Please continue to prioritize public accountability.’
✅ Why It Matters: Increased Board Accountability
