Summary — 2/18/2026:
Our monitoring of Western Reserve Local, Local School District has identified 4 agenda items that warrant community action.
PRIORITY LEVEL 9
19 Secret Policy Changes Dropped in One Night
📅  Vote Scheduled Feb 18, 2026
The Board is doing a 'First Reading' of 19 different policy updates from Neola, an outside vendor known for inserting progressive ideology into school rules. By bundling them, they're counting on no one reading the fine print on everything from student discipline to curriculum before it becomes official policy.
Recommended Action
Email Superintendent William Snyder at wsnyder@western-reserve.org: 'I demand a separate public work session to review each of the 19 Neola policies in Item 2.A. The community will not accept a rubber-stamp vote on such a massive overhaul.'
💰  Cost: Codifying Ideology
PRIORITY LEVEL 8
Hiding New Student Handbooks on Consent Agenda
📅  Meeting Feb 18, 2026
The Board is trying to approve the new Handbooks and the High School Course Guide for next year without any discussion by hiding them in the 'Consent Agenda' (Item 2.C). These documents contain the rules that directly impact your child's daily life, discipline, and what they learn. This is a deliberate move to avoid debate.
Recommended Action
Call Board President Caleb Buck at (419) 660-8508: 'I demand that items 2.C.3 and 2.C.4, the student handbooks and course guide, be pulled from the Consent Agenda for a full discussion and a separate roll-call vote. Stop hiding critical changes from parents.'
💰  Cost: Loss of Parental Rights
PRIORITY LEVEL 7
Board to Receive Political 'Training' from OSBA
📅  Training Scheduled March 4, 2026
The Board scheduled a special meeting for 'training' with the Ohio School Board Association (OSBA), a political lobby. These sessions often train board members to handle dissenting parents and push policies that weaken local control. Your tax dollars are paying for them to be trained by political activists.
Recommended Action
Email Superintendent William Snyder at wsnyder@western-reserve.org: 'Regarding the March 4th OSBA training, I demand that all training materials and the full agenda be posted publicly on the district website at least one week prior to the meeting.'
💰  Cost: Taxpayer-Funded Lobbying
PRIORITY LEVEL 4
Board Moves $230,000 With No Public Explanation
📅  Vote Scheduled Feb 18, 2026
The Board is transferring a quarter-million dollars from the General Fund (used for teacher salaries and operations) to a Capital Projects fund. The agenda provides no specific project or justification for this large transfer. This is a lack of basic financial transparency.
Recommended Action
Email Treasurer Shawnna Jones: 'Regarding Item 4.D, please provide a detailed breakdown of which specific projects the $230,000 transfer will fund. This should be public information before the Board votes to approve it.'
💰  Cost: $230,000
