Summary — 3/14/2026:
Our monitoring of New Richmond Exempted Village, Exempt School District has identified 5 agenda items that warrant community action.
|
PRIORITY LEVEL 8
|
|
Final Vote to Change Student Grading Policy
|
📅 Vote Scheduled Mar 16, 2026
|
The Board is holding a final vote on Policy 5421, a new grading policy. These policies are often used to introduce 'equity grading' which can eliminate zeros for missing work, reduce the weight of exams, and lower academic standards for all students under the guise of fairness.
Recommended Action
Call Board President Jonathan Zimmerman at (513) 553-2616: 'I urge you to vote NO on Policy 5421. Do not weaken our district's grading standards. Table this item for further public review.'
|
💰 Cost: Lowered Academic Standards
|
|

PRIORITY LEVEL 8
|
|
Potential Elimination of Class Rank and Valedictorian
|
📅 Vote Scheduled Mar 16, 2026
|
Paired with the new grading policy, the Board is also voting on Policy 5430 regarding Class Rank. This is a common tactic to eliminate traditional honors like valedictorian and salutatorian, replacing academic merit with equity-based outcomes. This punishes high-achieving students.
Recommended Action
Email Superintendent Paul Daniels at daniels_p@nrschools.org: 'Policy 5430 on Class Rank is a threat to academic excellence. I demand the Board preserve traditional academic honors and vote NO on this change.'
|
💰 Cost: Devaluation of Academic Achievement
|
|
|
PRIORITY LEVEL 6
|
|
New Policy on Artificial Intelligence and Student Data
|
📅 Vote Scheduled Mar 16, 2026
|
The Board is adopting Policy 7540.09 to govern Artificial Intelligence. Without strict guardrails, this could open the door to student data mining, online activity surveillance, and ideologically biased AI learning tools. The policy details are in the attached file and require immediate review.
Recommended Action
Email Superintendent Paul Daniels at daniels_p@nrschools.org: 'Regarding Policy 7540.09, who owns the student data collected by AI vendors, and what are the specific parental opt-out rights? This must be clarified before any vote.'
|
💰 Cost: Student Data Privacy Risk
|
|
|
PRIORITY LEVEL 5
|
|
Red Flag 'Affinity Program' Policy on Agenda
|
📅 Vote Scheduled Mar 16, 2026
|
A final vote is scheduled for Policy 6465, which includes the term 'Affinity Programs.' While the context may be financial, 'Affinity' is a major keyword for divisive identity-based groups. We must confirm this policy does not open the door to creating race or gender-based affinity groups for students or staff.
Recommended Action
INVESTIGATE: Review the file '6465 - AFFINITY, REWARDS, OR OTHER DISCOUNT PROGRAMS - Final.pdf' attached in the Official Agenda to determine if this policy introduces identity politics.
|
💰 Cost: Potential for Ideological Programming
|
|
|
PRIORITY LEVEL 4
|
|
Secret Policy Vote with No Public Title
|
📅 Vote Scheduled Mar 16, 2026
|
The Board is holding a final vote on 'Policy 6325' but has only provided a number, not a descriptive title, in the agenda. This is a transparency failure. Parents cannot give input on a policy when its purpose is hidden behind a generic number.
Recommended Action
Call the District Office at (513) 553-2616 and tell the Board Secretary: 'Item 10.A, Policy 6325, must be pulled from the agenda. The public deserves a clear title and description before any vote is taken.'
|
💰 Cost: Transparency Violation
