Summary — 2/18/2026:
Our monitoring of Springfield City School District, City School District has identified 4 agenda items that warrant community action.
|
PRIORITY LEVEL 8
|
|
Hiding $600k in Spending With a Single Vote
The Board is bundling 13 different spending items into one vote (Item 7.A). This includes over $600,000 for new curriculum and student data-tracking software. This tactic prevents any public discussion on these major contracts, hoping parents won't notice the massive price tag or the controversial vendors.
Recommended Action
Procedural Demand: Email Board President Carol Dunlap via the district office: 'I demand that items 7.F, 7.G, 7.H, and 7.K be pulled from the Consent Agenda for separate discussion and roll-call votes. The public will not approve a $600,000 blank check.'
|
💰 Cost: $605,609.24 (Combined Contracts)

PRIORITY LEVEL 8

|
$208k for Controversial English Curriculum
Hidden in the consent vote is a $208,301 purchase of the 'Wit & Wisdom' English curriculum (Item 7.K). This program has been flagged in other districts for containing divisive and age-inappropriate social content. This is a major change to your child's reading material, being passed without a single public comment.
Recommended Action
Call Superintendent Robert Hill at (937) 505-2800: 'Before the Board votes on Item 7.K, parents demand a public review of the Wit & Wisdom curriculum. We have a right to see the lesson plans we are paying for. Pull this item for a full discussion.'

PRIORITY LEVEL 6
|
|
New $30k Student Career-Tracking Software
The district wants to buy 'SchoolLinks' software (Item 7.H), a 'college and career readiness' platform. These systems collect vast amounts of student data, including personal interests and aptitudes, to guide them into specific career tracks. Who owns this data, and can parents opt their children out of this digital profiling?
Recommended Action
Public Question: Call Superintendent Robert Hill's office at (937) 505-2800: 'Regarding Item 7.H, who owns the student data collected by SchoolLinks? Please provide the specific opt-out form for parents before this is voted on.'

PRIORITY LEVEL 5

New Policy Shields Tech Secrets From Public
The Board is adopting a Cybersecurity Program (Item 7.C) that makes records about security incidents and software purchases exempt from public records requests. While security is important, this broad language could be used to hide data breaches or conceal contracts with controversial data-mining companies from parents.
Recommended Action
Public Question: Contact Board President Carol Dunlap at the district office (937) 505-2800: 'Regarding Item 7.C, how will the Board ensure transparency with parents about student data breaches if all related records are exempt from public view? We need accountability, not secrecy.'
