Summary — 3/6/2026:
Our monitoring of Newark City Schools, City School District has identified 4 agenda items that warrant community action.
|
PRIORITY LEVEL 8
|
|
Secret Changes to Student Entrance Policy
The board is voting to revise "Policy 5112 Entrance Requirements" (Item 6.A) without publishing the text of the changes. This is a major transparency violation. They could be altering anything from academic standards to residency verification, and they are voting on it without your review.
Recommended Action
Procedural Demand: Call Board President Timothy Carr at (740) 670-7000: 'I demand Item 6.A, the adoption of Policy 5112, be tabled until the full text of the revised policy is made public for review. The board cannot vote on secret policies.'

💰 Cost: Undefined Liability

PRIORITY LEVEL 7

Paying Staff to be 'SEL Advisors'
The district is creating official "Social Emotional Learning (SEL) Advisor" positions at Wilson Middle School (Item 2.E). This isn't just a program; it's embedding ideological activists into the school staff using taxpayer money. SEL is a trojan horse for teaching controversial social theories instead of core academics.
Recommended Action
Procedural Demand: Email Board President Timothy Carr: 'I demand Item 2.E, specifically the supplemental contracts for "SEL Advisor" at WMS, be pulled from the Consent Agenda for a separate discussion and roll-call vote. Why are we paying staff to be social activists instead of educators?' Contact the district at (740) 670-7000.

💰 Cost: $534 in initial stipends

PRIORITY LEVEL 6

Vague Resolution Hides Potential Tax Hike Plan
Under Item 4.A, the board is voting on a resolution to file a "Complaint Against the Valuation of Real Property." This is bureaucratic language for challenging property valuations to potentially raise your taxes. The attached file has a confusing, unrelated title, obscuring the true financial impact on homeowners.
Recommended Action
INVESTIGATE: Review the file '03.09.26 RESOLUTION - FIP Master Funding XXIV.pdf' attached in the Official Agenda. Email Treasurer Julio Valladares at jvalladares@newarkcityschools.org: 'Please explain in plain English what Item 4.A means for property owners' tax bills.'

💰 Cost: Potential Tax Increases
|
|

PRIORITY LEVEL 5
|
|
New 'Truancy Intervention Team' to Monitor Families
The district is funding a "Truancy/Attendance Intervention Team" for the digital academy (Item 2.E). This goes beyond tracking attendance; it creates a system for intervening with families. This is a step towards monitoring your home life and parenting decisions under the guise of "attendance."
Recommended Action
Public Question: Email Superintendent David Lewis: 'Regarding the "Truancy/Attendance Intervention Team" in Item 2.E, what specific actions does this team take, and what are the criteria for intervention? Will parents be notified before a home visit is initiated?' Contact the district at (740) 670-7000.

💰 Cost: $963 in initial stipends
