Summary โ€” 2/18/2026:
Our monitoring of Pike-Delta-York Local, Local School District has identified 4 agenda items that warrant community action.
PRIORITY LEVEL 8
Hiding 13 Votes in a Single Motion
๐Ÿ“…  Feb 18, 2026
The Superintendent is bundling 13 separate itemsโ€”including staff contracts, an "Online Learning Plan," and a new Elementary Parent Handbookโ€”into a single "Consent Agenda" vote (Item H.14). This tactic is designed to prevent public discussion on each item, hoping you won't notice what's hidden inside.
Recommended Action
Procedural Demand: Call Board President Alice Simon at (419) 822-3391: 'I demand Item H.14, the Consent Agenda, be broken up. I want a separate discussion and roll-call vote on the Online Learning Plan (H.12) and the Elementary Handbook (H.13).'
๐Ÿ’ฐ  Cost: Reduced Accountability
PRIORITY LEVEL 8
New Student Handbook Policies Passed in Secret
๐Ÿ“…  Feb 18, 2026
The board is approving the new Elementary Student Handbook without discussion, hiding it in a consent vote (Item H.13). This is where radical policies on gender pronouns, bathroom access, and "restorative" discipline that keeps bullies in the classroom are often hidden. They are changing the rules governing your child's daily life.
Recommended Action
INVESTIGATE: Review the '2026-2027 Elementary Student_Parent Handbook.pdf' attached to the official agenda. Then call Superintendent Douglas Ford at (419) 822-3391 and ask: 'What specific policy changes are in the new handbook regarding student discipline and gender identity?'
๐Ÿ’ฐ  Cost: Erosion of Parental Rights
PRIORITY LEVEL 6
Online Learning Plan Approved Without Review
๐Ÿ“…  Feb 18, 2026
An "Online Learning Plan" (Item H.12) is being approved without discussion in a bundled vote. These plans can introduce third-party software that collects student data or curriculum that bypasses local control. Parents have a right to know what platform their children will use and what data is being collected.
Recommended Action
Public Question: Call Superintendent Douglas Ford at (419) 822-3391: 'Regarding Item H.12, which vendors will be used for the Online Learning Plan? Who owns the student data collected by these vendors, and where is the parent opt-out form?'
๐Ÿ’ฐ  Cost: Student Data Privacy
PRIORITY LEVEL 5
Vague Education Service Center Contract
๐Ÿ“…  Feb 18, 2026
The board is approving a contract update with the Northwest Ohio Educational Service Center (NWOESC) under Item G.1. The agenda provides no details on what services this contract covers. It could be for anything from routine support to ideological teacher training or curriculum development disguised as "professional services."
Recommended Action
INVESTIGATE: Review the file 'ESC_Mid_Year_Update_25-26.pdf' attached in the Official Agenda to determine the specific services being purchased. Are we paying for SEL, DEI, or other political programming?
