Summary — 3/14/2026:
Our monitoring of has identified 4 agenda items that warrant community action.
|
PRIORITY LEVEL 8
|
|
Final Vote on Secretive 'Policy BF'
The Board is taking a final vote to adopt 'Policy BF.' The agenda gives no clue what this policy does. It could change rules for public comment, reduce board oversight, or alter how all future policies are created. This is a classic 'hide-in-plain-sight' tactic.
Recommended Action
Procedural Demand: Call Board President Mark Fairhurst at (330) 633-3291: 'I demand Item 4.3, Policy BF, be tabled until the next meeting. The public requires a clear summary of what this policy does before you hold a final vote.'
|
💰 Cost: Reduced Accountability

PRIORITY LEVEL 7
|
|
Vague Staff Policy Change on First Reading
The Board is introducing a 'First Reading' for an updated staff policy, 'GBCA.' The vague title prevents the public from understanding its impact. This could be a routine update or it could introduce new requirements, like diversity statements or implicit bias training, for school staff.
Recommended Action
INVESTIGATE: Call Township Administrator Steven Wood at (330) 633-3291 and demand the district post a plain-language summary of Policy GBCA online before the vote. What exactly is being changed for school staff in Item 4.2?
|
💰 Cost: Undefined Liability (Potential for new ideological mandates on staff)
|
|
|
PRIORITY LEVEL 6
|
|
School District Suing Residents for Higher Taxes
The Board is authorizing legal action against local property owners. They are challenging recent sale prices, arguing the properties are undervalued, in an effort to force a higher valuation and extract more property tax money from residents. This is a direct attack on your wallet.
Recommended Action
Call Township Administrator Steven Wood at (330) 633-3291: 'Regarding Item 3.4, why is the school board using our money to sue us for more money instead of living within its budget? Oppose these lawsuits.'
|
💰 Cost: Legal fees and potential property tax hikes
|
|
|
PRIORITY LEVEL 6
|
|
Renewing Contract for Student Data Director
The Board is renewing the contract for the 'Director of Student Services & Data Analytics.' This role combines student support with data collection. Parents have a right to know what specific non-academic data is being collected on their children and who it's being shared with.
Recommended Action
Public Question: Call the general office at (330) 633-3291 and ask for the Superintendent's office. 'Regarding Item 5.3, before renewing the Data Analytics Director's contract, provide the district's student data privacy policy and a list of all third-party vendors who access this data.'
|
💰 Cost: Student Data Privacy Risk
