Summary — 2/18/2026:
Our monitoring of Norwood City , City School District has identified 4 agenda items that warrant community action.
|
PRIORITY LEVEL 8
|
|
Where Is Your Tax Money Actually Going?
The Board is voting to approve a bundle of financial reports, including the check register, without showing you the details. This is how they hide payments to political consultants, controversial survey companies, and other ideological vendors. They are asking for a blank check approval on Item 7.02.
Recommended Action
Procedural Demand: Email Treasurer Brandon Johnson at johnson.j@norwoodschools.org: 'I demand the Detailed Check Register for Item 7.02 be posted online for public review 48 hours before the vote. We will not approve spending we cannot see.'
|
💰 Cost: Unknown (Spending details are hidden)
|

PRIORITY LEVEL 7

Hiding Policy Changes in a Single Vote
The Board is trying to pass revisions to "Expense Reimbursement" policies (Item 8.02) by bundling them into a single "consent" vote. This prevents discussion. Are they loosening rules to allow staff to attend ideological conferences on the taxpayer's dime? We don't know because they're hiding it.
Recommended Action
Procedural Demand: Call Board President Debbie Cole at (513) 924-2500: 'I demand Item 8.02 be pulled from the Consent Agenda for a separate discussion and roll-call vote. The public deserves to know what is changing in our district's expense policies before you approve it.'
|
💰 Cost: Potential for taxpayer-funded activism
|
|

PRIORITY LEVEL 6
|
|
The Board's 15-Minute Gag Rule on Parents
|
📅 Enforced at Feb 19, 2026 meeting
|
Reminder: The Board's policy (Item 5.01) limits all public comment on any single topic to just 15 minutes. This is a structural tactic to silence dissent and rush through controversial items. If more than three parents want to speak on an issue, someone will be cut off.
Recommended Action
Public Question: Call Board President Debbie Cole at (513) 924-2500: 'Will you suspend the 15-minute rule if numerous parents wish to speak on the budget? Your current policy is designed to silence parents, not hear them.'

Our Board's Link to Anti-Parent Lobbyists
The agenda includes a report from the board's liaison to the Ohio School Boards Association (OSBA). The OSBA is a political lobbying group that often works against parental rights in the state legislature. Our district pays them dues, and this report keeps our board aligned with their agenda.
Recommended Action
Public Question: Email Superintendent Mary Ronan: 'Regarding Item 11.04, what specific legislative positions has the OSBA taken with our district's money this session? Please provide a list of the bills they are lobbying for or against before our dues are renewed.'
|
💰 Cost: Taxpayer money funds lobbying against your rights
