Summary — 3/6/2026:
Our monitoring of Hamilton Local, Local School District has identified 5 agenda items that warrant community action.
|
PRIORITY LEVEL 7
|
|
Silencing Parents at Board Meetings
The Board's public participation rules are designed to limit your voice. You must register by noon on meeting day, only speak on agenda items requiring action, and are limited to 3 minutes. This makes it harder to hold the Board accountable or raise urgent concerns.
Recommended Action
Email Board President Walley Obert at the District Office (614) 491-8044: 'I demand the Board revise Policy KL and BDDH/KD to allow for broader public comment, including non-agenda items, and remove the pre-registration deadline. You are silencing parents.'
|
💰 Cost: Undefined Liability (loss of public trust, unaddressed issues)
|
|
|
PRIORITY LEVEL 7
|
|
Hiding Taxpayer Money Decisions
|
📅 Vote Scheduled Mar 9, 2026
|
The Board is bundling approval of financial statements, an amended budget, and tax rates into a single 'Financial Programs' vote (Item 6.6). This makes it difficult for parents to scrutinize how their tax dollars are being spent or if new taxes are being levied without proper discussion.
Recommended Action
Procedural Demand: Email Board President Walley Obert at the District Office (614) 491-8044: 'I demand Items 6.2, 6.3, and 6.4 be pulled from the bundled 'Financial Programs' vote for separate discussion and roll-call votes. Taxpayers deserve transparency on financial decisions.'
|
💰 Cost: Undefined Liability (potential for hidden spending or tax implications)
|
|
|
PRIORITY LEVEL 5
|
|
Secret Kindergarten Assessments
|
📅 Vote Scheduled Mar 9, 2026 (for 2026-2027 school year)
|
The Board is approving a 'staggered entrance' for kindergarten to administer 'required assessments.' The agenda doesn't specify what these assessments are. This could be a backdoor for collecting sensitive data on your child's social-emotional state or other non-academic areas without your full knowledge or consent.
Recommended Action
Public Question: Email Superintendent Mark Tyler at the District Office (614) 491-8044: 'Regarding Item 8.1, what specific 'required assessments' will be administered to kindergarten students? Will parents receive full details and an opt-out option before these assessments are given?'
|
💰 Cost: Undefined Liability (privacy risks, potential for ideological screening)
|
|
|
PRIORITY LEVEL 4
|
|
Doubling Schoolhouse Demolition Costs
|
📅 Vote Scheduled Mar 9, 2026
|
The Board is voting to amend an agreement with a non-profit, increasing the potential cost for schoolhouse removal from $15,000 to $30,000, and the total project cost to $195,000. We need to ensure this non-profit is legitimate and that taxpayer money is being spent wisely.
Recommended Action
INVESTIGATE: Review the 'Amended Hamilton LSD - Schoolhouse Relocation Project - Memorandum of Understanding (3.9.2026).pdf' attached in the Official Agenda linked above to determine the full scope of the agreement and the non-profit's background.
|
💰 Cost: $30,000 (Potential Demolition Cost) / $195,000 (Total Project Cost)
|
|
|
PRIORITY LEVEL 4
|
|
Outsourcing Special Education to Unknown Vendor
|
📅 Vote Scheduled Mar 9, 2026 (contract Feb 9, 2026 - Summer 2026)
|
The Board is approving a contract with 'NewStory School' for special education services. While special education is vital, parents need to know who this vendor is, their track record, and if their methods align with the district's values and parental rights.
Recommended Action
Public Question: Email Superintendent Mark Tyler at the District Office (614) 491-8044: 'Regarding Item 8.3, please provide information on NewStory School, including their curriculum, staff qualifications, and any ideological affiliations, before this contract is approved.'
|
💰 Cost: Undefined Liability (quality of service, potential for ideological influence)
