Summary — 2/18/2026:
Our monitoring of Trimble Local, Local School District has identified 3 agenda items that warrant community action.
PRIORITY LEVEL 9
Board Votes to Give Away Hiring and Spending Power
📅  Vote on Feb 19, 2026
The Board is voting to give the Superintendent power to hire staff and the Treasurer power to pay bills without a prior public vote. This is a massive power grab that silences your elected representatives and lets unelected staff spend your money and hire anyone they want in secret.
Recommended Action
Call Board President Gary Arnold at (740) 767-4444: 'Vote NO on Resolution 2026-006 and 2026-009 in Item 7.01. Do not surrender your authority to the administration. Keep spending and hiring decisions public.'
💰  Cost: Blank Check Authority
PRIORITY LEVEL 5
New Laptops Could Be Spying on Your Child
📅  Vote on Feb 19, 2026
The district is leasing and buying Chromebooks for all K-12 students. What surveillance software is installed? Who owns the data your child creates? These devices can track every keystroke and website visited. The district must provide a clear data privacy policy before this purchase is approved.
Recommended Action
Call Superintendent Lindy Douglas at (740) 767-4444: 'Regarding Item 7.02, who owns the student data collected by the new Chromebooks? I want to see the data privacy agreement and the parental opt-out form before this is approved.'
💰  Cost: Student Data Privacy
PRIORITY LEVEL 3
Vague Athletic Contract Hidden in Agenda
📅  Meeting on Feb 19, 2026
The Board is approving a contract with the Ohio High School Athletic Association (OHSAA) with no public description. While likely routine, these agreements can contain controversial policies on issues like gender identity in sports. The details are buried in an attached file that requires review.
Recommended Action
INVESTIGATE: Review the 'OHSAA.pdf' file attached to Item 6.01 in the official agenda. We need to confirm it contains no language that compromises fairness in girls' sports or parental rights.
💰  Cost: Undefined Liability
