Summary — 2/18/2026:
Our monitoring of Lincolnview Local, Local School District has identified 3 agenda items that warrant community action.
PRIORITY LEVEL 7
Outsourcing Curriculum Advice to an Unelected Group
📅  Vote on Feb 18, 2026
The Board is voting to let the 'Van Wert Area Economic Development Corporation' serve as its official advisory council on curriculum and employment skills. This gives an outside, unelected corporate group direct influence over what your children are taught, bypassing direct parental and voter oversight.
Recommended Action
Call Board President Eric Germann at (419) 968-2226: 'Regarding Item 9.J, I oppose giving an external corporation official influence over our curriculum. The Board, not an economic development group, must be accountable for what is taught in our schools. Vote NO.'
💰  Cost: Loss of Local Control
PRIORITY LEVEL 6
Approving a Secret Student Enrollment Policy
📅  Vote on Feb 18, 2026
The Board is voting to approve the 2026-2027 open enrollment policy (Item 9.F), but has failed to attach the actual policy document to the agenda. Parents cannot see the rules that will determine who can and cannot attend our schools. This is a vote on a secret document.
Recommended Action
Email Superintendent Jeffrey Snyder at jsnyder@lvlancers.com: 'Regarding Item 9.F, why has the text of the Open Enrollment Policy not been made public before the vote? I demand this item be tabled until the full policy is attached to the agenda for public review.'
💰  Cost: Undefined Liability
PRIORITY LEVEL 4
Vague Tax Rate Vote Requires Manual Review
📅  Vote on Feb 18, 2026
The Board is voting to accept the official tax rates for the next fiscal year under Item 9.E. While this is a routine action, the specific financial impact on homeowners is buried in an attached document, not explained in the agenda. Parents must verify the details themselves.
Recommended Action
INVESTIGATE: Review the file 'Accept Rates - Lincolnview 2026-2027.docx' attached in the Official Agenda linked above to determine the exact financial impact on your property taxes.
💰  Cost: Potential Tax Increases
