| 🚨 HIGH CONCERN (LEVEL 8) |

Board Proposes Slashing Public Comment Time
Under agenda item 6.A, the Board is voting to approve revised Policy 0169.1, which would cap the total time for public participation at all meetings to just 20 minutes. This would severely limit the number of parents who can speak and hold the board accountable.
Recommended Action Plan
Call Board President Jessica Wilson at (440) 356-6000 and email Superintendent Adham Schirg at schirg.adham@rrcs.org: ‘Do not silence parents. Vote NO on the 20-minute time limit in Policy 0169.1. We demand the right to be heard.’

District Purchasing Massive Surveillance Database
Item 13.D approves a contract with Thomson Reuters for its ‘CLEAR’ service, a powerful data-mining and investigation tool used by law enforcement. While the district claims it’s for ‘residency verification,’ this gives them access to vast amounts of private data on families, creating a significant risk for surveillance and overreach.
Recommended Action Plan
Email Superintendent Adham Schirg at schirg.adham@rrcs.org: ‘Regarding Item 13.D, what specific data on students and parents will be accessible through the CLEAR database, who will have access, and what are the privacy protection policies? This contract must be tabled until these questions are answered publicly.’

Strategic ‘Visioning’ Pushes Vague New Agenda
Item 14.B, ‘Education Visioning,’ and the related ‘Governance Charter’ in 14.D, introduce a new strategic plan called the ‘Rocky River Experience.’ This kind of ‘visioning’ is often a trojan horse for introducing concepts like ‘global citizenship’ and ‘whole child’ (SEL) while pushing aside core academics.
Recommended Action Plan
Attend the meeting to listen to the ‘Education Visioning’ discussion. Contact the Board (Phone: (440) 356-6000): ‘The district’s vision must be academic excellence, not social engineering. We demand transparency and parental input on the ‘Rocky River Experience’ before any new priorities are set.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Focus on Academics

| ⚠️ NEEDS REVIEW (LEVEL 6) |
|
New Policies on Counseling and Meeting Recordings
Item 6.A includes final approval for new policies on ‘Guidance and Counseling’ (po2411) and ‘Recording of District Meetings Involving Students and/or Parents’ (po2461). The actual text of these sensitive policies was not included in the attachment, preventing public review before the vote.
Recommended Action Plan
Email Superintendent Adham Schirg at schirg.adham@rrcs.org: ‘Pull policies 2411 and 2461 from the vote on Item 6.A. Parents have a right to review the full text of policies on counseling and meeting recordings before they are approved.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Lack of Transparency

Contract for School-Based Therapy Services
Item 12.A is a contract renewal with Cleveland Clinic for ‘Therapy Services.’ These school-based health services can operate without parental presence or full consent, creating a wall between you and your child’s mental health care.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: Open the file ‘Cleveland Clinic Therapy Contract SY 2026-2027.pdf’ in the Official Agenda (linked above). Email Superintendent Adham Schirg at schirg.adham@rrcs.org: ‘What are the parental notification and consent policies for therapy services provided under the Cleveland Clinic contract?’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Parental Consent

| 👀 MONITOR (LEVEL 5) |
|
Behavioral Screening for New School Leaders
Item 13.C approves a contract with Gallup for its ‘PrincipalInsight’ assessment tool. This uses subjective ‘strengths’ and ‘behaviors’ to screen and hire principals, prioritizing personality profiles over academic leadership and potentially filtering for candidates who align with a progressive agenda.
Recommended Action Plan
Email Superintendent Adham Schirg at schirg.adham@rrcs.org: ‘Regarding Item 13.C, parents expect principals to be hired based on their proven ability to raise academic achievement, not on a subjective personality test from Gallup. Please provide the assessment criteria for public review.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Ideological Litmus Tests

| 👀 MONITOR (LEVEL 5) |
|
Federal Grant Spending with Hidden Strings
The financial reports under Item 7.A confirm the district is spending federal grant money from programs like ESSER, Title I, and Title IV-A. These funds often come with mandates for specific DEI/SEL curricula and data collection requirements that are not transparent to parents.
Recommended Action Plan
Email Superintendent Adham Schirg at schirg.adham@rrcs.org: ‘Regarding the federal funds in Item 7.A, please provide a public list of all programs, curricula, and staff positions being paid for by ESSER, Title I, and Title IV-A funds, along with any associated data reporting mandates.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Federal Strings Attached

Contract with Potential SEL Vendor ‘Imagine Learning’
Item 11.B approves a contract with Imagine Learning LLC, a major EdTech vendor whose products have been known to embed Social Emotional Learning (SEL) and DEI concepts into academic content. The contract itself was not attached to the agenda for public review.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: Open the file ‘Imagine Learning Contract.pdf’ in the Official Agenda (linked above) to confirm whether it contains SEL or DEI mandates. Demand the board pull this from the consent agenda for a separate vote.
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Hidden SEL Curriculum
|
| ALERT (LEVEL 4) |
|
District Approves ‘AI In The Classroom’ Training
Item 13.E approves a contract with the University of Pennsylvania for a course on ‘Implementing AI in the classroom.’ AI is a new frontier for student surveillance, data mining, and delivering ideological content without teacher or parent oversight.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: Open the file ‘UPenn Contract SY 26-27.pdf’ in the Official Agenda (linked above). Email Superintendent Adham Schirg at schirg.adham@rrcs.org: ‘What is the curriculum for the UPenn AI course, and what guardrails will be in place to protect student data and prevent ideological bias in AI tools?’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Student Data & Privacy
