Summary — 3/9/2026:
Our monitoring of Old Fort Local, Local School District has identified 7 agenda items that warrant community action.
|
PRIORITY LEVEL 8
|
|
Hiding Financial Decisions in One Vote
|
📅 Vote Scheduled March 9, 2026
|
The Treasurer is bundling four financial items (C.2-C.5) into a single 'Consent Agenda' vote. This includes accepting the financial report, transferring $100,000 to a severance fund, and approving vague changes in appropriations. Bundling these prevents individual discussion and scrutiny of how your tax dollars are being spent.
Recommended Action
Email Treasurer Jacob Huston ( jhuston@oldfortschools.org): 'I demand that Items C.2, C.3, C.4, and C.5 be pulled from the Consent Agenda for separate discussion and a roll-call vote at the March 9 meeting. The community deserves transparency on financial decisions.'
|
💰 Cost: Unknown (Bundling multiple financial actions)
|
|
|

|
Hiding Ten Key Decisions in One Vote
|
📅 Vote Scheduled March 9, 2026
|
The Superintendent is bundling ten separate recommendations (E.2-E.11) into a single 'Consent Agenda' vote. This includes contracts, personnel changes, and calendar review, preventing individual discussion and public scrutiny of important district actions.
Recommended Action
Email Board President Val Steyer (Call District: (419) 992-4269) and Superintendent Jeffrey Holbrook ( jholbrook@ncoesc.org): 'I demand that all items E.2 through E.11 be pulled from the Consent Agenda for separate discussion and roll-call votes at the March 9 meeting. This bundling tactic undermines transparency and public accountability.'
|
💰 Cost: Unknown (Hiding multiple contracts and decisions)
|
|
|
PRIORITY LEVEL 7
|
|
Secret Spending Changes
|
📅 Vote Scheduled March 9, 2026
|
Item C.4, hidden in the consent agenda, asks the Board to approve 'a change in appropriations, as presented.' This is a blank check for the district to shift funds without public disclosure or debate. Parents have no idea what programs are being cut or funded.
Recommended Action
Email Treasurer Jacob Huston ( jhuston@oldfortschools.org): 'I demand Item C.4 be pulled from the Consent Agenda. What specific changes in appropriations are being proposed, and why are they not publicly detailed before the vote?'
|
💰 Cost: Blank Check (Undefined spending shifts)
|
|
|
PRIORITY LEVEL 7
|
|
Secret Contract with Regional Education Center
|
📅 Vote Scheduled March 9, 2026
|
Item E.3, hidden in the consent agenda, asks to approve a contract with the North Central Ohio ESC. These contracts can cover a wide range of services, including professional development or curriculum support, potentially introducing unvetted ideological content or data collection. The public has no idea what this contract entails.
Recommended Action
Email Superintendent Jeffrey Holbrook ( jholbrook@ncoesc.org): 'I demand Item E.3 be pulled from the Consent Agenda. What specific services, curricula, or professional development are covered by the North Central Ohio ESC contract? Provide the full contract for public review before the March 9 vote.'
|
💰 Cost: Undefined Liability (Potential for ideological training/curriculum)
|
|
|
PRIORITY LEVEL 6
|
|
New School Psychologist Role: What's the Real Agenda?
|
📅 Vote Scheduled March 9, 2026
|
The Board is approving the posting for a new School Psychologist. While seemingly benign, new mental health roles can be used to implement 'wellness' programs that collect sensitive student data or introduce unvetted social-emotional learning (SEL) curricula without parental consent. We need to understand the scope of this role.
Recommended Action
Email Superintendent Jeffrey Holbrook ( jholbrook@ncoesc.org): 'Regarding Item E.7, what specific programs or data collection initiatives will the new School Psychologist be involved with? Will parents have the right to opt their children out of any mental health screenings or interventions?'
|
💰 Cost: Hidden Future Costs (Potential for new programs/data collection)
|
|
|
PRIORITY LEVEL 5
|
|
Limiting Your Voice at Board Meetings
|
📅 Meeting on March 9, 2026
|
The Board's standing policy limits total public comment to just 30 minutes per meeting, with each person only getting 3 minutes. This makes it easy for the Board to cut off parents who want to speak out on important issues, effectively silencing community concerns.
Recommended Action
Attend the meeting on March 9, 2026. If public comment is cut short, stand up and say: 'This policy limits transparency. We demand more time for public input on critical issues affecting our children.'
|
💰 Cost: Reduced Public Accountability
|
|
|
PRIORITY LEVEL 5
|
|
Unvetted 'Wellness' Supplies for Elementary Kids
|
📅 Vote Scheduled March 9, 2026
|
The Board is accepting a donation of 'Realeyes educational supplies' for elementary students. While framed as 'wellness,' these programs can introduce unvetted content or data collection without parental knowledge. We need to know exactly what these 'supplies' are and what curriculum they promote.
Recommended Action
Email Superintendent Jeffrey Holbrook ( jholbrook@ncoesc.org): 'Regarding Item C.5, what specific 'educational supplies' are being donated by the Realeyes Program? Please provide a full list of materials and curriculum content for parental review before the March 9 vote.'
|
💰 Cost: Undefined Liability (Unvetted curriculum/data)
