Summary — 3/14/2026:
Our monitoring of Tallmadge City (City School District) has identified 3 agenda items that warrant community action.
PRIORITY LEVEL 7
Vague Policy Change Could Limit Public Input
📅  Vote on March 18, 2026
The Board is voting to adopt 'Policy BF' with no description of what it does. Policies with this code often change how the board itself operates. This could be a power grab to alter rules on public comment or fast-track controversial policies with less oversight.
Recommended Action
INVESTIGATE: Review 'Policy BF (1).pdf' attached to the official agenda. If it reduces transparency, call Board President Mark Fairhurst at (330) 633-3291 and demand he table the vote on Item 4.3 until the public can review it.
💰  Cost: Reduced Transparency
PRIORITY LEVEL 6
School Board Suing to Raise Property Taxes
📅  Vote on March 18, 2026
The Board is authorizing legal action against local property owners. They are challenging property values to force higher tax assessments. This is a direct attempt to extract more money from the community by suing residents and businesses, funded by your own tax dollars.
Recommended Action
Call Superintendent Steven Wood at (330) 633-3291: 'I oppose the district using our tax dollars to sue property owners under Item 3.4. Focus on fiscal responsibility, not legal battles against the community.'
💰  Cost: Legal Fees & Higher Property Taxes
PRIORITY LEVEL 5
Renewing the Student Data Analytics Director
📅  Vote on March 18, 2026
The Board is renewing the contract for the 'Director of Student Services & Data Analytics.' This role can easily expand from tracking grades to monitoring student behavior, beliefs, and home life for 'equity' or 'wellness' initiatives, often without parental consent.
Recommended Action
Public Question: Call Superintendent Steven Wood at (330) 633-3291: 'Regarding Item 5.3, what specific student data is the Director of Data Analytics authorized to collect, and with which third-party vendors is this data shared?'
💰  Cost: Student Data Privacy Risk
