Summary — 3/11/2026:
Our monitoring of Cardinal Local, Local School District has identified 4 agenda items that warrant community action.
|
PRIORITY LEVEL 8
|
|
New 3-Year Teachers Union Contract Hidden In Plain Sight
|
📅 Vote Scheduled Mar 11, 2026
|
The Board is voting on a new three-year contract with the teachers' union. These agreements are notorious for hiding radical policies, such as mandating DEI training, changing grievance procedures to protect activist teachers, or altering curriculum. This is a binding, multi-year agreement that requires intense public scrutiny.
Recommended Action
Email Board President Linda Smallwood at the district office (440) 632-0261: 'I demand the vote on the new teacher's union contract (Item 6.B) be postponed. The public needs at least 30 days to review this binding 3-year agreement for hidden policy changes before it is approved.'
|
💰 Cost: Hidden Future Costs (Policy & Financial)
|
|
|
PRIORITY LEVEL 7
|
|
Board Voting On Finances Without Releasing Reports
|
📅 Vote Scheduled Mar 11, 2026
|
Under Item 7.E, the Board is scheduled to approve the monthly financial reports. However, the agenda explicitly states 'Pending attachments.' This is a major transparency violation. They are asking for a blank-check approval of district spending without allowing the public to see the records first.
Recommended Action
Email Treasurer Daniel Wilson at dan.wilson@cardinalschools.org: 'I demand the vote on the February 2025 Financials (Item 7.E) be tabled until the 'Pending attachments' are posted for public review at least 48 hours prior to the meeting. We will not accept a vote on secret spending.'
|
|
PRIORITY LEVEL 5
|
|
New 'Behavioral Therapy' Vendor Contract
|
📅 Vote Scheduled Mar 11, 2026
|
The Board is approving a service agreement with an outside company, 'Epicenter ABA Therapy,' to work with students. This brings a third party into our schools to perform behavioral analysis. Who are they? What are their methods? Who owns the sensitive behavioral data they will collect on our children?
Recommended Action
Email Superintendent Jackie Cunningham Jr via the district office at (440) 632-0261: 'Regarding Item 6.A, the agreement with Epicenter ABA Therapy, who owns the student data collected by this vendor? Please provide the specific parental opt-out form before this is voted on.'
|
💰 Cost: Undefined Liability (Student Data)
|
|
|
PRIORITY LEVEL 4
|
|
Taxpayer-Funded Buses For Private Daycare
|
📅 Vote Scheduled Mar 11, 2026
|
The district plans to provide school buses and drivers to a private business, 'All Around Children Daycare,' for 17 separate summer field trips at no cost. This is a direct subsidy of a private company using public tax dollars, fuel, and staff time. This is a misuse of district assets.
Recommended Action
Email Treasurer Daniel Wilson at dan.wilson@cardinalschools.org: 'Regarding Item 6.D, please explain the legal justification for using public school buses and drivers, at no cost, to support the field trips of a private daycare business. Taxpayer assets should not subsidize private companies.'
|
💰 Cost: Misuse of Public Funds
