Summary — 3/9/2026:
Our monitoring of Youngstown City, City School District has identified 5 agenda items that warrant community action.
|
PRIORITY LEVEL 9
|
|
Board Seeks Blank Check With Undisclosed 'Urgency'
The Board wants to pass a 'Resolution for Urgent Necessity' (Item I.2) without providing the document to the public. This is a power grab that often allows them to bypass competitive bidding and spend large sums of money without normal oversight. What 'emergency' requires this secrecy?
Recommended Action
Call Board President Juanita Walker at (330) 744-6900: 'Item I.2, the Resolution for Urgent Necessity, has no public documentation. I demand you table this vote until the full resolution is posted for public review. No blank checks for the district.'

Secret Vendor Contracts Hidden in Consent Agenda
The Board is bundling all 'Vendor Contracts' into a single vote (Item I.1) with no public discussion. This is a classic tactic to hide payments to ideological consultants, data-mining firms, or curriculum auditors. We must see who is getting our money and for what purpose.
Recommended Action
Email Superintendent Jeremy Batchelor at jeremy.batchelor@youngstown.k12.oh.us: 'I demand Item I.1, Vendor Contracts, be pulled from the Consent Agenda for a separate discussion and roll-call vote. INVESTIGATE: Review the 'Board Contracts for Approval' PDF in the official agenda to identify any ideological vendors.'
|
💰 Cost: Unknown (Bundled Contracts)
|
|
|
PRIORITY LEVEL 8

|
Hiding New Hires in Vague 'Personnel Report'
The Superintendent is pushing through a 'Personnel Report' (Item H.7) on the consent agenda. This is a common tactic to hire new, permanent activist bureaucrats—like a 'Chief Equity Officer'—without public scrutiny. We need to know who is being hired with our tax dollars.
Recommended Action
Email Superintendent Jeremy Batchelor at jeremy.batchelor@youngstown.k12.oh.us: 'Regarding Item H.7, does the Personnel Report create any new administrative positions? I demand this item be pulled from the consent agenda for full discussion. INVESTIGATE: Review the 'Board Report 3_10_2026.pdf' file to identify any new administrative or ideologically-focused job titles.'
|
💰 Cost: Potential New Bureaucrat Salaries
|
|
|
PRIORITY LEVEL 7

Board Voting to Cut Its Own Funding
The Board is set to approve a tax abatement notice from the city (Item H.6). This means they are agreeing to let a company pay less in taxes, which directly reduces future funding for our schools. Why is the school board voting to give away money meant for students?
Recommended Action
Public Question: Email Treasurer Michael Rock at Michael.rock@youngstown.k12.oh.us: 'Regarding Item H.6, please provide the total projected loss in school tax revenue over the life of this abatement. Why is the Board approving a measure that defunds our schools?'
|
💰 Cost: Reduced Future Tax Revenue
|
|
|
PRIORITY LEVEL 7
|
|
Teacher Layoffs Buried in Consent Agenda
The Board is hiding a 'Reduction in Force' resolution (Item H.1) in the consent agenda. This means they plan to vote on firing teachers and staff without a separate, public discussion. This is a major decision that impacts classrooms and community stability, and it deserves a full debate.
Recommended Action
Procedural Demand: Email Superintendent Jeremy Batchelor at jeremy.batchelor@youngstown.k12.oh.us: 'I demand Item H.1, the RIF Resolution, be pulled from the Consent Agenda for a full discussion. The community deserves to understand the reasons for these layoffs before you vote.'

💰 Cost: Teacher and Staff Jobs
