kANE COUNTY PARENTS NEED TO KNOW THEIR RIGHTS



School-Based Health Centers in Kane County Introduction:


School-based health centers are here, heavily funded and rapidly expanding thanks to a federal agenda funneling millions of grant dollars to states like Illinois. HFSSBHSExpansionPressRelease.pdf These full-service, profit-based centers offer medical, behavioral and psychological treatment to students. They are intended to be the "medical home" for your child, billing your insurance, including Medicaid, for services rendered. Currently, there is no regulation of these centers and it appears that parents are being given a single pre-consent form that serves as blanket consent for any and all services.


Your child's school could soon be prescribing drugs, administering vaccines, providing mental health counseling and a host of other services without your knowledge and using a single form that you signed giving blanket consent for treatment at a School-Based Health Center. 

 

Where are the SBHCs in Kane County:

In our local community, this conversation of School Based Health Centers takes on special significance. In Illinois there are about 66 School Based Health Centers, 34 of the 66 are in Chicago. 

In Kane County there are 4 school districts with School-Based Health Centers: Batavia D101, East Aurora D131, U-46 in Elgin and West Aurora D129.

When the federal government shut down and the Department of Education went dark, liberal media outlets and union leaders like Randi Weingarten rushed to declare disaster. They claimed schools would collapse and blamed President Trump for the chaos. But here in Kane County, parents saw the truth: schools kept running, teachers kept teaching, and students kept learning. The shutdown didn’t break education—it revealed how little Washington actually contributes to our classrooms. For decades, teachers unions and their allies in D.C. have insisted that states can’t manage education without federal oversight. But the shutdown proved otherwise. Funding for programs like Title I and IDEA continued to flow through established state-run systems. The Department of Education paused administrative tasks, not the actual learning. In reality, our schools are governed and funded locally, and the federal bureaucracy often adds more red tape than value.  This moment is a wake-up call for parents in Kane County and across America. The Department of Education was born from a political deal, not a need for better schooling. Teachers unions have used it to push ideology and silence parents. But now, with federal interference temporarily out of the way, families are reclaiming control. The unions may panic, but we’ll keep doing what we’ve always done—supporting our kids, standing up for our values, and ensuring our schools reflect the priorities of our community. https://a57.foxnews.com/static.foxnews.com/foxnews.com/content/uploads/2025/09/720/405/randi-weingarten-speaks-at-event.png?ve=1&tl=1
