Heads up! Our parent watchdogs have scanned the upcoming agenda for South-Western City. We found 4 items that need your immediate attention before the vote.
🚨 HIGH CONCERN (LEVEL 9)
Vendor Contract Grants Access to Student Data
📅 2026-08-10
The board is approving a $276,423 contract with “I Know I Can,” a third-party non-profit. This agreement gives their staff, who will be embedded in the high schools, direct access to confidential student records including GPA, test scores, attendance, and family contact information.
Recommended Action Plan

DEMAND A VOTE DELAY: Call Board President Chris Boso at (614) 801-3000 and email Superintendent Randy Banks at randy.banks@swcsd.us: ‘Vote NO on the “I Know I Can” contract (Item D.6). We will not approve a quarter-million-dollar contract that gives an outside group access to our children’s private data without explicit, opt-in parental consent for every student.’

💰 Taxpayer Impact: $276,423.40
🚨 HIGH CONCERN (LEVEL 9)
Vague Title — Manual Review Required
📅 2026-08-10
The board is approving an agreement with “Communities in Schools” to place fourteen (14) “site coordinators” in schools to address “non-academic barriers.” This is a national organization known for implementing SEL and “wraparound services” that can function as school-based social work, bypassing parental authority.
Recommended Action Plan

INVESTIGATE: Open the file ‘X-8.pdf’ attached to Item D.7 in the Official Agenda (linked above) to confirm the scope of services. Email Superintendent Randy Banks at randy.banks@swcsd.us: ‘I demand the vote on Item D.7 be delayed until the full contract with Communities in Schools is discussed in a public work session. Parents have a right to know what “non-academic” services will be provided to our children.’

💰 Taxpayer Impact: Undisclosed
👀 MONITOR (LEVEL 5)
District-Wide Parent Survey Planned
📅 2026-08-10
The district is planning a parent survey in January 2027 to “gather stakeholder feedback.” These surveys often contain leading questions to manufacture consent for controversial policies and can be used to collect sensitive data on family beliefs and home life.
Recommended Action Plan

DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Email Superintendent Randy Banks at randy.banks@swcsd.us: ‘Regarding the planned January 2027 parent survey, I demand that the full list of questions be made public for parental review and comment at least 60 days before it is sent to families. We must have the right to review any tool used to collect data on our children and family.’

💰 Taxpayer Impact: Your Family’s Privacy
ALERT (LEVEL 3)
Appointing Delegate to State Lobbying Group
📅 2026-08-10
The board is appointing a delegate to the Ohio School Boards Association (OSBA) annual meeting. The OSBA is a political organization that lobbies the state legislature, often against parental rights initiatives like curriculum transparency and school choice.
Recommended Action Plan

Monitor: Track the resolutions and legislative priorities adopted by the OSBA. Be prepared to challenge the board if they use our district’s name and resources to lobby against parental rights.

💰 Taxpayer Impact: Taxpayer-Funded Lobbying
