Summary — 3/11/2026:
Our monitoring of Washington Local , Local School District has identified 5 agenda items that warrant community action.
|
PRIORITY LEVEL 8
|
|
District Fires Teacher, Cites Financial Woes
|
📅 Vote Scheduled Mar 11, 2026
|
The Board is voting to fire a Physical Education teacher, citing 'decreased enrollment and/or financial reasons.' This directly reduces student services and contradicts other spending, like a $31,000 conference for cafeteria staff. This shows a clear disconnect in priorities, valuing bureaucracy over classroom instruction.
Recommended Action
Email Superintendent Kristine Martin at kmartin@wls4kids.org: 'Regarding Item I3, how can the district justify firing a teacher for financial reasons while simultaneously approving a $31,000 conference trip in Item H3? Restore the teaching position and cancel the trip.'
|
💰 Cost: Loss of a teaching position
|
|
|
PRIORITY LEVEL 7
|
|
$31k Cafeteria Manager Conference Hidden on Consent
|
📅 Vote Scheduled Mar 11, 2026
|
The Board is hiding a $31,000 trip for nine cafeteria managers to a national conference in North Carolina on the consent agenda. This is a 'use it or lose it' slush fund expense being approved without discussion, at the same time they are firing teachers.
Recommended Action
Call Board President Michael Murphy at (419) 473-8251: 'I demand Item H3, the SNA Conference trip, be pulled from the Consent Agenda for a separate discussion and roll-call vote. Justify this $31,000 expense while you are cutting teaching positions.'
|
|
PRIORITY LEVEL 6
|
|
District Suing Local Businesses for Higher Taxes
|
📅 Vote Scheduled Mar 11, 2026
|
The district is using your tax dollars to file legal complaints against local businesses, demanding their property values be reassessed at a higher rate. This is a direct attempt to increase the tax burden on the community. The school is acting like a tax collector, not an educator.
Recommended Action
Call the District Office at (419) 473-8251 and ask for Treasurer Jeffery Fouke: 'Regarding Item F4, why is the district spending money on legal action to raise taxes on our local businesses instead of focusing on classroom needs?'
|
💰 Cost: Increased community tax burden
|
|
|
PRIORITY LEVEL 5
|
|
Secret Union Deals and Personnel Changes
|
📅 Meeting on Mar 11, 2026
|
The Board has listed three items (I4, I5, I6) with vague titles like 'Personnel' and 'OAPSE Memorandum of Understanding.' The details are buried in attached PDFs, a common tactic to pass major union concessions or controversial staffing changes without public scrutiny. These could contain hidden costs or policy shifts.
Recommended Action
Email Superintendent Kristine Martin at kmartin@wls4kids.org: 'Before the vote on Items I4, I5, and I6, please provide the public with a plain-language summary of the key financial and policy changes contained in the attached documents. We deserve transparency.'
|
💰 Cost: Undefined Liability
|
|
|
PRIORITY LEVEL 4
|
|
Curriculum Changes Hidden in Committee Notes
|
📅 Meeting on Mar 11, 2026
|
The agenda includes notes from the 'Teaching & Learning Committee' (Item E1) without any summary. This is often where ideological curriculum changes, like SEL or DEI initiatives, are first introduced before becoming official policy. The details are buried in the attached file, requiring manual review.
Recommended Action
INVESTIGATE: Review the file 'Teaching and Learning BOE Committee Meeting - 3.3.26.pdf' attached in the Official Agenda to determine if it contains sensitive policy or curriculum changes.
|
💰 Cost: Potential Ideological Curriculum
