Heads up! Our parent watchdogs have scanned the upcoming agenda for Cincinnati Public Schools. We found 3 items that need your immediate attention before the vote.
⚠️ NEEDS REVIEW (LEVEL 6)
Over $65M in Federal/State Grants Accepted
📅 August 14, 2026
The district’s financial report details the acceptance of over $65 million in state and federal grants, including Title I, II, III, and IV funds. This massive influx of federal money often comes with hidden strings attached, mandating specific ideological programs or extensive student data collection without direct parental consent.
Recommended Action Plan

ASK QUESTIONS: Email Treasurer Michael Gustin at gustinm@cpsboe.k12.oh.us: ‘Regarding the State and Federal Grants report, what specific curriculum, training, or data collection requirements are attached to the $65.2M in grant funding for FY26 and the projected $41M for FY27? Parents have a right to know what ideological strings are attached to this money.’

💰 Taxpayer Impact: $65.2M (Federal Strings Attached)
👀 MONITOR (LEVEL 5)
Vague Agenda Item on Federal Grants
📅 August 14, 2026
The agenda lists a presentation on “State and Federal Grants” with no attached documents or details. This lack of transparency prevents parents from reviewing the specifics of these multi-million dollar grants and their potential ideological requirements before the meeting.
Recommended Action Plan

ATTEND & QUESTION: Attend the virtual meeting (Zoom details in agenda) and be prepared to ask Nan Hagood directly during public comment: ‘What specific programs and vendors are being funded by the state and federal grants you are presenting on today? We demand full transparency on any DEI, SEL, or data-sharing mandates attached to this funding.’

💰 Taxpayer Impact: Lack of Transparency
ALERT (LEVEL 4)
Opaque “New Agenda Item” Placeholder
📅 August 14, 2026
The agenda includes a placeholder for a “New Agenda Item” under “Other Business” with no description or attached documents. This practice allows for last-minute additions that the public has no opportunity to review or prepare for, undermining transparency.
Recommended Action Plan

MONITOR & OBJECT: Attend the meeting and if a substantive policy is introduced under ‘New Agenda Item,’ immediately object on procedural grounds. Call Board President Eve Bolton at (513) 363-0425: ‘The public requires advance notice of all substantive agenda items. I urge you to table any “New Agenda Item” that has not been properly noticed for a future meeting.’

💰 Taxpayer Impact: Reduced Public Oversight
