Have any of you made a FOIA request to look into the actual curriculum that is used within your local school district? I, and some other concerned parents, are in the beginning stages of forming a local branch of an already established nationwide non-profit concerned citizens group. One thing we would like to do is submit a FOIA to get more detailed info, as much as possible, into the curriculum within our district. Could anyone give me advice if they have submitted one before to their school; did they actually respond with the requested documents or just general materials? Did you submit to the school board, the school admin office, or the state DOE?

Also, if you are not aware already; here is some very concerning information that should make you, as a parent or even just a community member of your city/town, here are the types of conferences going on for school guidance counselors: https://ascaconferences.org/ Here were their exhibitors this year; many which are companies providing "social emotional learning", "cultural based", and "equity & inclusion" curriculum (which our district is implementing the Second Step curriculum) https://ascaconferences.org/exhibitors?fbclid=IwAR2z-Ae8kulJWU9Cj8SxOKRzIY2HGjLV7VbtYho2h_45eXYoW1tRNuAlYio

The ASCA released new updated "ethical standards" during this year's conference which includes numerous changes/references to make standards more "inclusive". https://schoolcounselor.org/getmedia/44f30280-ffe8-4b41-9ad8-f15909c3d164/EthicalStandards.pdf

Our state education association will be holding a conference soon https://www.eventbrite.com/e/fall-leadership-educator-conference-creating-safe-and-supportive-schools-tickets-407520373407 in which many of our state teachers and school staff are sure to attend. How do we get the information on what is being pushed out to these people who will then turn around and put it onto our children?
