| 🚨 HIGH CONCERN (LEVEL 10) |
|
Unspecified Student Treatment Services
The Board is considering a contract with Sand Castle Educational Services for “IMPACT Treatment Services” for students. The nature of these “treatment services” is not specified, raising significant concerns about potential medical, psychological, or behavioral interventions without parental notification or consent.
Recommended Action Plan
PACK THE ROOM: Call all Board members at (330) 477-8121 and demand Item I.1 be pulled from the Consent Agenda for public debate. State: ‘We do not co-parent with the government. Parents demand full transparency on any student “treatment services.” Vote NO.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Undisclosed

| 🚨 HIGH CONCERN (LEVEL 9) |
|
School Mental Health Contract
The district plans to contract with Stark County Mental Health & Addiction Recovery for school-based consultation services. This raises concerns about the potential for mental health screenings, data collection, or interventions for children without explicit parental consent.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Call board president Doug Brown at (330) 477-8121 and demand details on how this “consultation” protects parental rights and requires explicit consent for any student interaction.
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Undisclosed

| 🚨 HIGH CONCERN (LEVEL 8) |
|
Wellness Funds for Ideological Programs
The district has received $44,787.50 in “Student Wellness and Success Funding” for the current fiscal year. These funds are frequently used as a Trojan horse for Social Emotional Learning (SEL), mental health screenings, and other ideological programs that can bypass parental involvement or collect sensitive student data.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link) and ask Superintendent Nathan Stutz and Treasurer Timothy Pittman: ‘How will the $44,787.50 in Student Wellness and Success Funds be spent? Will parental consent be required for all related student surveys or interventions?’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: $44,787.50 (Federal Strings Attached)
|
| ⚠️ NEEDS REVIEW (LEVEL 7) |
|
Undisclosed Spending Details (Check Register)
The Treasurer’s Consent Agenda includes bills for payment totaling over $6.5 million, but the detailed July Check Register attachment is missing from the provided documents. This lack of transparency prevents parents from reviewing where district funds are being spent and identifying potential misuse or problematic vendors.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link) and call Treasurer Timothy Pittman, demanding immediate public access to the full July Check Register for review before the vote.
💰 Taxpayer Impact: $6,592,150.13 (Undisclosed Details)

| ⚠️ NEEDS REVIEW (LEVEL 7) |
|
ESC Contracts for Undisclosed Services
The district is approving service contracts with both the ESC of Northeast Ohio and Stark County ESC. Educational Service Centers often provide professional development or curriculum resources that may include Social Emotional Learning (SEL), Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) training, or other ideological programs. The specifics of these services are not detailed.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link) and ask Superintendent Nathan Stutz for a detailed breakdown of all programs, curricula, and professional development services provided by the ESCs under these contracts.
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Undisclosed
|
| ⚠️ NEEDS REVIEW (LEVEL 6) |
|
Undisclosed Financial Analysis
The Treasurer’s Consent Agenda references a “Revenue and Budget Summary Analysis” document, but its content was not provided. This lack of access prevents parents from understanding the district’s financial health and allocation of funds, especially as part of a large bundled vote.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link) and call Treasurer Timothy Pittman, requesting the full “Revenue and Budget Summary Analysis” document be made public before the meeting.
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Undisclosed
|
| ⚠️ NEEDS REVIEW (LEVEL 6) |
|
Undisclosed Future Financial Plans
The Treasurer’s Consent Agenda references an “August Forecast with Assumptions” document, but its content was not provided. This omission means parents cannot see the district’s financial projections or the underlying assumptions impacting future budgets and resource allocation.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link) and call Treasurer Timothy Pittman, requesting the full “August Forecast with Assumptions” document be made public before the meeting.
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Undisclosed

Student Surveillance Technology
The district is contracting with Raptor Technologies LLC for $23,380.00 for “Other Professional & Technical” services. Raptor Technologies primarily offers school safety and visitor management systems, but their platforms can also include features for monitoring student behavior or collecting sensitive data, potentially blurring the line into surveillance.
Recommended Action Plan
OPT-OUT ALERT: Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link) and ask Superintendent Nathan Stutz: ‘What student data does Raptor Technologies collect and share? What are parents’ rights to opt out of any data collection or behavioral monitoring systems?’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: $23,380.00

| 👀 MONITOR (LEVEL 5) |

Vague Educational Technology Contract
The Board is approving a contract with Edmentum Inc. for “Other Professional & Technical” services totaling $43,042.44. Edmentum is known to offer various educational solutions, including those with SEL components. The vague description necessitates closer scrutiny to ensure funds are not used for ideological programs.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link) and demand a detailed explanation of the “Other Professional & Technical” services provided by Edmentum Inc., specifically asking if any Social Emotional Learning (SEL) curriculum or training is included.
💰 Taxpayer Impact: $43,042.44
|
| ALERT (LEVEL 4) |
|
New Policy on Class Rank
The Board is conducting a First Read of Policy 5430 regarding Class Rank. While specific details are not yet available, policies related to academic ranking can sometimes be influenced by “equity” initiatives that aim to de-emphasize merit in favor of other factors, potentially impacting academic standards.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link) and request the full text of Policy 5430 on Class Rank to review for any language related to “equity” or changes to merit-based achievement.
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Undisclosed
