Summary — 3/9/2026:
Our monitoring of Waynesfield-Goshen Local, Local School District has identified 3 agenda items that warrant community action.
PRIORITY LEVEL 9
Secret Vote on Grading and AI Policies
📅  Vote Scheduled Mar 9, 2026
The Board is voting to adopt 14 policy changes under a single item (5.J) without providing the public with the text. These include revisions to student grading, class rank, AI in the classroom, and rules for accepting federal grants. They are trying to ram through major changes without any scrutiny.
Recommended Action
Call Board President Kevin Ewing at (419) 568-9100: 'I demand Item 5.J be tabled until the full text of all 14 proposed policy changes is posted for public review. We will not accept a vote on secret policies.'
💰  Cost: Secret Policy Changes
PRIORITY LEVEL 7
New Course Handbook Needs Urgent Review
📅  Vote Scheduled Mar 9, 2026
The Board is approving the entire 2026-2027 Course Handbook (Item 5.I). This document dictates every class your child can take. It could easily be used to introduce ideological concepts like 'Social Emotional Learning' or 'Gender Identity' into the core curriculum under the radar. The document is attached and must be reviewed.
Recommended Action
INVESTIGATE: Review the '26-27 WG Course Description Handbook.pdf' attached to Item 5.I in the official agenda. Search for keywords like 'equity,' 'social justice,' 'gender,' 'SEL,' and 'restorative.' Report any findings to fellow parents immediately.
💰  Cost: Ideological Curriculum Creep
PRIORITY LEVEL 4
Are 'Free' Supplies a Trojan Horse?
📅  Discussion on Mar 9, 2026
The Board is waiving preschool tuition (Item 5.C) and K-12 supply fees (Item 5.E). While this sounds good, where is the money coming from? This could be the justification for accepting a future federal grant that comes with ideological strings attached, like data-sharing or curriculum mandates.
Recommended Action
Public Question: Email Treasurer Tonia Hovest at hovestt@wgschools.org: 'Regarding Items 5.C and 5.E, what is the total cost of these waivers, and what specific budget line item will cover this shortfall? Are you seeking federal grants to pay for this?'
💰  Cost: Future Federal Control
