Summary — 3/14/2026:
Our monitoring of Tallmadge City (Public District) has identified 3 agenda items that warrant community action.
PRIORITY LEVEL 8
Final Vote on Secretive 'Policy BF'
📅  March 18, 2026
The Board is scheduled for a final vote to adopt 'Policy BF.' The agenda provides no description of what this policy contains. This is a classic bureaucratic move to pass potentially controversial rules without public scrutiny by hiding them behind a vague title.
Recommended Action
INVESTIGATE: Review file 'Policy BF (1).pdf' in the official agenda. Then, call Board President Mark Fairhurst at (330) 633-3291: 'I demand the vote on Item 4.3, Policy BF, be tabled until the Board provides a plain-language summary to the public. We will not accept surprise policies.'
💰  Cost: Undefined Liability
PRIORITY LEVEL 7
First Reading of Unidentified New Policies
📅  March 18, 2026
The Board is introducing two new policies, 'GBCA' and 'JEB,' for a first reading. The agenda gives no clue what 'GBCA' is about. This is the first step to embedding new rules, and the lack of a clear title suggests it might be something the board doesn't want to advertise.
Recommended Action
INVESTIGATE: Review files 'gbca_update.pdf' and 'JEB-OSBASampleEntranceAgeMandatoryKindergarten.pdf' in the official agenda. Then, call the General Office at (330) 633-3291 and ask to leave a message for the Board: 'Regarding Item 4.2, what is the purpose of Policy GBCA? The public deserves a clear explanation before any new policy is considered.'
💰  Cost: Hidden Future Costs
PRIORITY LEVEL 6
Renewing Contract for Student Data Director
📅  March 18, 2026
The board is renewing the contract for the 'Director of Student Services & Data Analytics.' This role combines social-emotional programming with data collection. This solidifies the district's infrastructure for tracking non-academic student data, potentially without full parental consent or transparency.
Recommended Action
Public Question: Call County Administrator Steven Wood at (330) 633-3291: 'Regarding the renewal for the Director of Data Analytics, Item 5.3, what specific student data is being collected and who is it shared with? We need a public report on this program before renewing the contract.'
💰  Cost: Student Data Privacy Violation
