Summary — 3/11/2026:
Our monitoring of Bellbrook-Sugarcreek Local, Local School District has identified 4 agenda items that warrant community action.
|
PRIORITY LEVEL 9
|
|
The Board's $3 Million Blank Check
|
📅 Vote Scheduled Mar 12, 2026
|
The Board is set to approve a $3 million contract with the Greene County ESC for vague "supplemental services." This could hide funding for anything from DEI consultants to SEL curriculum, all without specific public approval. This is a massive financial commitment with zero transparency.
Recommended Action
Email Treasurer Amit Gautam at amit.gautam@bss.k12.oh.us: 'I demand a full, public breakdown of the $3 million in "supplemental services" under Item 8.A before any vote. What specific programs and personnel are we paying for? Do not approve this blank check.'

|
PRIORITY LEVEL 6
|
|
New Suicide Prevention Staff in Middle School
|
📅 Vote Scheduled Mar 12, 2026
|
The Board is hiring two "Suicide Prev/HOPE Squad Advisors" under the Consent Agenda. While safety is important, these national programs can be a trojan horse for student mental health screening, data collection, and SEL ideology without direct parental consent. This should not be hidden in a bundled vote.
Recommended Action
Call Board President Mike Kinsey at (937) 848-4800: 'I demand Item 7.A be pulled from the Consent Agenda for a separate discussion and vote. Parents deserve to know the full scope of the HOPE Squad program, including all training materials and student survey questions, before new staff are approved.'

💰 Cost: Hidden Future Costs (Program Expansion)
|
|
|
PRIORITY LEVEL 5
|
|
New Policy on Artificial Intelligence in Schools
|
📅 First Read on Mar 12, 2026
|
The Board is introducing a new policy (#7540.09) governing Artificial Intelligence. This could impact everything from student data privacy to classroom surveillance and curriculum. We must ensure this policy protects students and parental rights, not expose them to data mining or biased algorithms.
Recommended Action
Call Superintendent Douglas Cozad at (937) 848-4800: 'Regarding the new AI policy #7540.09, what specific safeguards will be included to prevent student data from being collected and shared by AI vendors? We need a strong parental consent and opt-out clause before this policy moves forward.'
|
💰 Cost: Undefined Liability (Student Data Privacy Risk)
|
|
|
PRIORITY LEVEL 3
|
|
District-Wide 'Supportive Peers' Program Recognized
|
📅 Recognition on Mar 12, 2026
|
The Board is formally recognizing the "Supportive Peers" program. While framed as mentorship, it uses soft SEL language like "strengthen social skills" and "promote empathy." We need to watch this program to ensure it remains focused on genuine friendship and service, not social-emotional engineering.
Recommended Action
Monitor: Track this program for any shift toward formal SEL curriculum, student surveys, or 'affinity group' structures. No immediate action required.

💰 Cost: Future Scope Creep
