| ⚠️ NEEDS REVIEW (LEVEL 7) |
|
Undisclosed Service Agreement with K. Anderson
The Board is approving a service agreement with an individual named Kristy Anderson. The agenda provides no information about the nature of the services, the cost to taxpayers, or the qualifications of this person.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Email Superintendent Robert Longworth and Treasurer Robert Giuffre at rob.giuffre@locklandschools.org: ‘What services will Kristy Anderson provide under Item D.4, and at what cost? Parents deserve to know who the district is hiring and why before this is approved.’

| 👀 MONITOR (LEVEL 5) |
|
Hidden ‘Health & Wellness’ Funding
The district’s financial reports show a “Health & Wellness” fund (019-9027) with a balance over $32,000. This type of funding is often used as a backdoor to implement school-based mental health services or SEL programs without direct parental approval.
Recommended Action Plan
ASK THE MONEY TRAIL: Email Treasurer Robert Giuffre at rob.giuffre@locklandschools.org: ‘Regarding the financial reports (Item E.1), what specific programs and services are funded by the “Health & Wellness” fund (019-9027)? How does the district ensure parental consent for any services provided under this fund?’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: $32,536.38
|
| ALERT (LEVEL 4) |
|
Ambiguous ‘Curriculum Training’ for Teachers
The district is paying teachers for “Curriculum Training.” The agenda doesn’t specify what this curriculum is, leaving parents in the dark about whether it’s for core academics or for ideological subjects like SEL or DEI.
Recommended Action Plan
ASK QUESTIONS: Contact the District Office at (513) 563-5000 and ask for Superintendent Robert Longworth’s email: ‘Regarding Item D.5, please provide the name of the curriculum and the training materials for the “Curriculum Training” on August 4-6. Parents have a right to know what our teachers are being taught.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Undisclosed Training Content

| ALERT (LEVEL 3) |
|
District Forecasts Future Deficits
The district’s own five-year financial forecast predicts that expenditures will grow faster than revenue, leading to a significant cash balance decline and a potential revenue shortfall by 2031. This could lead to future tax hikes or cuts to essential academic programs.
Recommended Action Plan
Monitor: The board is acknowledging a future budget problem. Keep this on the radar and be prepared to challenge any attempts to solve it with tax increases instead of cutting administrative waste.
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Future Tax Increases
