Summary — 3/11/2026:
Our monitoring of Canal Winchester Local, Local School District has identified 4 agenda items that warrant community action.
PRIORITY LEVEL 8
Board to Introduce Secret Policy
📅  Meeting on March 11, 2026
Under 'Discussion Items,' the board lists 'Policy - First Reading' with no title, no description, and no attached document. This is a deliberate transparency violation designed to sneak a controversial policy past parents without scrutiny. We must assume they are hiding something damaging.
Recommended Action
Email Superintendent Kiya Hunt at khunt@cwls.us: 'I demand you immediately release the full text of the policy listed as Item H.1 for First Reading. The public will not tolerate secret policies being introduced without full transparency.'
💰  Cost: Secret Policy - Undefined Risk
PRIORITY LEVEL 7
New Rules May Limit Public Complaints
📅  Vote on March 11, 2026
The Board is taking a final vote on Policy 9130, which governs how you can file complaints. Changes to this process can be used to add bureaucratic hurdles, dismiss anonymous tips from concerned staff, and ultimately silence parents who disagree with the district. This is a structural power grab.
Recommended Action
Call Board President Monika Talley at (614) 837-4533: 'I demand you table the vote on Policy 9130. The public needs more time to understand how these new rules will impact our ability to hold the district accountable. Vote NO.'
💰  Cost: Loss of Parental Voice
PRIORITY LEVEL 6
New 'Handle With Care' Data Sharing Program
📅  Meeting on March 11, 2026
A presentation is scheduled for a 'Handle With Care' program. These programs often create a data pipeline between law enforcement and the school. If police respond to an incident at your home, they can notify the school, creating a digital file on your child without your consent.
Recommended Action
Email Superintendent Kiya Hunt at khunt@cwls.us: 'Regarding the 'Handle With Care' presentation, what specific student data will be shared between police and the school, and can parents explicitly opt-out of this surveillance program?'
💰  Cost: Student Data Privacy Violation
PRIORITY LEVEL 4
Mental Health Team Mission Creep
📅  Meeting on March 11, 2026
The 'Mental Health Team' is delivering a report. While framed as support, these teams are often the entry point for Social Emotional Learning (SEL) curriculum, intrusive student surveys, and other therapeutic interventions that are the responsibility of parents, not the state. We must monitor their scope.
Recommended Action
Public Question: Email Superintendent Kiya Hunt at khunt@cwls.us: 'Regarding the Mental Health Team report, please confirm that no new student surveys or social-emotional learning programs will be implemented without a separate Board vote and a clear parental opt-out process.'
💰  Cost: Potential for SEL/Surveys
