By empowering and engaging parents and communities around the country, we can create meaningful and impactful change in education. WILL has created a one-stop-shop of both original resources and highlights from partners around the country that seek to assist parents and inform them of their rights.
Parent Resources
TrevorSpace Letter Template
This letter, created by WILL, is a tool for parents. Parents can submit their concerns through this letter to school districts about an online forum called “TrevorSpace.”
While the website is designed to be “an affirming international community for LGBTQ young people ages 13–24,” TrevorSpace is a chat room-style forum that allows adults and children to connect to discuss intimate topics including sexuality, gender transitioning, and how to keep information secret from parents.
HUMAN GROWTH AND DEVELOPMENT OPT-OUT FORM
Wisconsin law provides parents with the statutory right to opt out of instruction relating to human growth and development. This form, created by WILL, is a model for Wisconsin parents to submit to their schools to help them navigate the opt out process for their child.
Wisconsin School Scorecard
WILL developed and released a new School Data Dashboard. This comprehensive, interactive tool provides a snapshot of student proficiency, district funding, and district-related information for every school district in the state. All of the key data comes from the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction – we just made it user-friendly.
Parental Rights Notification Request - Race Instruction
Much of public school curricula is focused on discussing issues and topics through race-based lens. WILL fights against these policies by advocating that the law and public policy should be colorblind, by not treating individuals differently based on their race. Many families feel similarly. WILL created this parental request form for parents who want to be notified when these topics are discussed in their child’s classroom. This model opt out form is designed for all parents, regardless of their location.
