Summary — 3/14/2026:
Our monitoring of Tallmadge City () has identified 3 agenda items that warrant community action.
PRIORITY LEVEL 8
Board to Vote on Secret 'Policy BF'
📅  Meeting on March 18, 2026
The Board is scheduled for a final vote to adopt "Policy BF." The agenda gives no description of what this policy does. This is a major transparency failure, potentially hiding changes to curriculum, student discipline, or parental rights from the public until it's too late.
Recommended Action
Call Board President Mark Fairhurst at (330) 633-3291: 'I demand you table the vote on Item 4.3, Policy BF. The public has a right to know what is in this policy before you make it law. Explain it in plain English and schedule the vote for a future meeting.'
💰  Cost: Undefined Liability (Hidden Policy Change)
PRIORITY LEVEL 6
Vague New Policies Introduced for First Reading
📅  Meeting on March 18, 2026
The Board is introducing two new policies, "GBCA" and "JEB," for a first reading. The agenda provides no clear explanation of their purpose. This is the first step in a process that could introduce new rules affecting staff, students, or curriculum. We must investigate the attached files now.
Recommended Action
INVESTIGATE: Review the files 'gbca_update.pdf' and 'JEB-OSBASampleEntranceAgeMandatoryKindergarten.pdf' attached to Item 4.2 in the official agenda. Then, call Superintendent Steven Wood's office at (330) 633-3291 and ask for a plain-language summary of these proposed changes.
💰  Cost: Undefined Liability (Future Policy Change)
PRIORITY LEVEL 5
Renewing Contract for Student Data Director
📅  Meeting on March 18, 2026
The district is renewing the contract for the "Director of Student Services & Data Analytics." This role has the power to monitor student information beyond just grades and attendance. Parents have a right to know exactly what data is being collected on their children and why.
Recommended Action
Public Question: Call Superintendent Steven Wood's office at (330) 633-3291 and ask: 'Regarding Item 5.3, what specific student data does the Director of Data Analytics collect? Who is it shared with, and how can parents opt their children out of non-academic data tracking?'
💰  Cost: Student Data Privacy Violation
