Summary — 3/14/2026:
Our monitoring of Tallmadge City () has identified 3 agenda items that warrant community action.
PRIORITY LEVEL 8
Secret Policy Changes Hidden Behind Vague Codes
📅  Vote on March 18, 2026
The Board is voting on three separate policies identified only by cryptic codes: 'GBCA,' 'JEB,' and 'BF.' This is a major transparency failure. We have no idea what changes to parental rights, curriculum, or student discipline are hidden in these documents without a detailed review.
Recommended Action
Call President Mark Fairhurst at (330) 633-3291: 'I demand Items 4.2 and 4.3 be pulled from the agenda. Re-introduce them at the next meeting with plain-English summaries of what policies GBCA, JEB, and BF actually do. We will not accept secret policy changes.'
💰  Cost: Undisclosed Policy Changes
PRIORITY LEVEL 7
Board Authorizing Future Property Tax Hikes
📅  Vote on March 18, 2026
Under Item 3.2, the Board is voting to authorize future tax levies based on rates from the budget commission. This is bureaucratic language for 'approving a future tax hike.' Citizens need to see the numbers in the attached resolution before the Board locks in higher rates for your property.
Recommended Action
Call President Mark Fairhurst at (330) 633-3291: 'I demand Item 3.2 be tabled. The public needs a clear presentation on the proposed tax rates in the attached resolution and their dollar impact on the average homeowner's bill before you authorize any new levies.'
💰  Cost: Future Property Tax Hike
PRIORITY LEVEL 6
Renewing the Student Data Director Contract
📅  Vote on March 18, 2026
The board is renewing a 3-year contract for the 'Director of Student Services & Data Analytics.' This role institutionalizes the collection and analysis of student data beyond simple grades. This could be a backdoor for behavioral tracking or profiling without parental consent. Parents have a right to know what is being tracked.
Recommended Action
Call Township Administrator Steven Wood at (330) 633-3291: 'Regarding Item 5.3, before renewing the Data Analytics Director's contract, I demand a public presentation on what specific student data is collected, how it's used, and which third-party vendors can access it.'
💰  Cost: Data Privacy Invasion
