Summary — 2/18/2026:
Our monitoring of Madison Local , Local School District has identified 2 agenda items that warrant community action.
PRIORITY LEVEL 8
46 Policy Changes Buried in a Single Vote
📅  Vote on Feb 19, 2026
The board is voting on a massive bundle of 46 different policy updates under a single agenda item (8.02). This tactic prevents public debate on individual changes, which could include new rules on student discipline, nondiscrimination (gender identity), and curriculum. They are rushing through major changes without proper scrutiny.
Recommended Action
Procedural Demand: Call Board President Shawn Douglas at (440) 428-9328: 'I demand Item 8.02 be broken up. The public deserves a separate discussion and roll-call vote on controversial policies like po2260, po2266, and po8462. Stop hiding major changes in a 46-file bundle.'
💰  Cost: Loss of Parental Oversight
PRIORITY LEVEL 5
Board Takes Political Stance on State Testing
📅  Vote on Feb 19, 2026
The Board is voting on a resolution regarding the 3rd Grade State Reading Test (Item 9.03). Is this a move to weaken academic standards or an attempt to opt-out of accountability measures? The vague title forces parents to dig through attachments to understand the Board's political agenda.
Recommended Action
INVESTIGATE: Review the file '3rd Grade OST Resolution.pdf' attached in the Official Agenda. Then, email Superintendent Daniel Rambler at daniel.rambler@madisonschools.net: 'What is the specific purpose of the resolution in Item 9.03? Does it support or oppose the 3rd Grade Reading Guarantee?'
💰  Cost: Potential Weakening of Academic Standards
