Summary — 3/14/2026:
Our monitoring of Batavia Local, Local School District has identified 4 agenda items that warrant community action.
|
PRIORITY LEVEL 9
|
|
Secret 'Affinity' Policy Introduced
|
📅 First Read on March 16, 2026
|
The Board is introducing "Policy 6465" which includes the term "Affinity," a keyword for divisive, identity-based groups common in DEI programming. The actual text of this policy has not been made public, preventing parents from reviewing it before the first discussion. This is a major transparency violation.
Recommended Action
Procedural Demand: Email Board President Barb Bruner by calling the district at (513) 732-2343: 'I demand the full text of Policy 6465 be released to the public immediately. The term 'Affinity' is highly controversial. We will not allow a first reading of a secret policy. Table Item 9.01 until all documents are public.'
|
💰 Cost: Undisclosed Policy Text
|
|

PRIORITY LEVEL 8
|
|
Secret Changes to Class Rank and Merit
|
📅 First Read on March 16, 2026
|
The Board is reviewing "Policy 5430 - CLASS RANK" without providing the proposed text to the public. Changes to class rank are often the first step in dismantling merit-based achievement in favor of "equity," which punishes high-achieving students. This must be made public before any discussion.
Recommended Action
Procedural Demand: Call Superintendent Keith Millard at (513) 732-2343: 'I demand the full text of Policy 5430 be released to the public before the March 16 meeting. Parents have a right to see any proposed changes to class rank and academic merit.'
|
💰 Cost: Potential for lowered academic standards
|
|
|
PRIORITY LEVEL 7
|
|
Board Rewriting Rules for Federal Grants
|
📅 First Read on March 16, 2026
|
The Board is changing the rules for accepting federal money (Policy 6325) and is not showing the public the new language. This policy could make it easier for the district to accept grants that mandate controversial curricula, student data mining, or social agendas without proper Board oversight.
Recommended Action
Public Question: Email Treasurer Michael Ashmore at ashmore_m@bataviaschools.org: 'Regarding Policy 6325, please provide the full text. What changes are being made to Board oversight of federal grant applications and acceptance? We must see the language before it is discussed.'
|
💰 Cost: Federal Strings Attached
|
|
|
PRIORITY LEVEL 4
|
|
'Empathy' Pushed as Core School Subject
The district is celebrating "Empathy" as its "Word of the Month." This is a key concept in Social Emotional Learning (SEL), which often prioritizes feelings and social conditioning over core academics like math and reading. This is an early warning sign of a shift in classroom focus away from academics.
Recommended Action
Public Question: Call Superintendent Keith Millard at (513) 732-2343: 'Regarding Item 3.01, what curriculum is used to teach 'Empathy'? Is this part of a formal Social Emotional Learning program, and can parents review all related materials before they are used in the classroom?'
|
💰 Cost: Curriculum shift away from academics
