Summary — 3/9/2026:
Our monitoring of Wayne Local, Local School District has identified 6 agenda items that warrant community action.
|
PRIORITY LEVEL 9
|
|
Board to Rubber-Stamp 40 Policy Changes at Once
The Board is bundling over 40 separate policy changes into a single vote on the 'Consent Agenda' (Item 8.E). This includes critical policies on student discipline, nondiscrimination, and parent relations. This tactic is designed to prevent public debate on each individual change, hoping you won't notice what's buried inside.
Recommended Action
Procedural Demand: Call Board President Darren Amburgy at (513) 897-6971 and state: 'I demand Item 8.E, the mass policy update, be removed from the Consent Agenda. Each policy must be discussed and voted on individually. The public will not accept a rubber-stamp vote.'

New Rule Silences Last-Minute Parent Concerns
|
📅 Effective March 9, 2026
|
The Board is enforcing a new rule (Bylaw 0169.1) that you must register to speak two full business days before a meeting. This prevents parents who discover a problem over the weekend from addressing the board. It's a procedural trick to ensure only pre-screened speakers are heard and to shut down dissent.
Recommended Action
Call Board President Darren Amburgy at (513) 897-6971: 'Bylaw 0169.1 is an unacceptable barrier to public participation. I demand you suspend the two-day pre-registration rule and allow parents to sign up to speak upon arrival at the meeting.'

💰 Cost: Loss of Free Speech Rights

PRIORITY LEVEL 6

District Plans Intrusive 'Community Survey'
|
📅 Announced March 9, 2026
|
The Superintendent announced a new "District/Parent/Student/Community Survey" (Item 4.B.1). These surveys often contain leading questions about sensitive topics like race, gender, and personal beliefs, bypassing parents to collect data directly from students. We need to see the questions before this moves forward.
Recommended Action
Email Superintendent Samuel Ison at sison@wayne-local.com: 'Regarding the Community Survey announced on March 9, please provide a full copy of all survey questions and identify the vendor who created it. Parents have a right to review this before any student data is collected.'

💰 Cost: Student Data Privacy Risk

PRIORITY LEVEL 6
|
|
New 'Counselor' Role Needs Public Scrutiny
The Board is approving a new job description for the High School Counselor (Item 8.F). These roles are often redefined to include social-emotional engineering and mental health screening, duties that belong in the home. The community must review this document before it's approved via the consent agenda.
Recommended Action
INVESTIGATE: Review the 'High School Counselor.pdf' file attached in the Official Agenda. Email Superintendent Samuel Ison at sison@wayne-local.com with concerns about language related to SEL, mental health screening, or DEI responsibilities.

💰 Cost: Potential for Permanent Activist Bureaucrat

PRIORITY LEVEL 5

Vague $45k Contract Hidden in Consent Agenda
The Board is approving a $45,384 contract for a part-time teacher through an external agency (Item 6.D), hidden in the 'consent agenda' to avoid discussion. Why is the cost for a 40% position so high, implying a full-time cost over $113k? This needs a public explanation, not a rubber stamp.
Recommended Action
Email Treasurer Carolyn Huber at chuber@waynelocal.net: 'I demand Item 6.D, the HCESC Service Agreement, be pulled from the Consent Agenda for a separate discussion and vote. Please justify the $45,384 cost for a part-time position before the Board approves it.'
|
|
PRIORITY LEVEL 4
|
|
'Facility Dog' Contract May Hide Wellness Agenda
The Board is approving contracts for 'facility dogs' (Item 8.I). While this sounds nice, these programs are often used to advance a broader 'wellness' and social-emotional learning agenda. We need to ensure this contract is strictly about animal support and not a cover for student therapy or data collection.
Recommended Action
INVESTIGATE: Review the 'Facility Dog Internship Agreement' files in the Official Agenda. Email Superintendent Samuel Ison at sison@wayne-local.com: 'Regarding Item 8.I, please confirm the Circle Tail agreement does not involve student surveys or mental health screening.'
