Summary — 3/14/2026:
Our monitoring of Wickliffe City, Governing Board of Educational Service Center has identified 4 agenda items that warrant community action.
|
PRIORITY LEVEL 8
|
|
Federal Grant Pays for Outside 'Mentoring' Group
The board is using federal '21st Century Grant' funds to hire an outside group, 'Torchlight Youth Mentoring Alliance.' These partnerships often serve as Trojan horses, bringing social-emotional programming and external activists into the school to influence students, all funded by federal dollars with data-sharing strings attached.
Recommended Action
Email Superintendent Michael Chokshi at michael.chokshi@wickliffecsd.org: 'Regarding Item L.3, what specific SEL curriculum will Torchlight use? Will parents have the right to review all materials and opt their children out of this mentoring program? Post the full contract online immediately.'

💰 Cost: Federal Strings Attached

District Prepares to Fire Teachers and Staff
Items J.2 and K.2 are resolutions to implement a 'Reduction in Force'—bureaucratic language for layoffs. The board is planning to fire both teaching and non-teaching employees. While the district is hiring outside 'mentors' (Item L.3), they are firing their own staff. This is a classic 'shell game' of priorities.
Recommended Action
Call Board President Gail Willis at (440) 943-6900: 'Before you vote on layoffs in Items J.2 and K.2, you must provide the public with a list of positions being eliminated and a clear financial justification. Why are we firing staff while approving new vendor contracts?'
|
💰 Cost: Undefined - Job Losses
|

PRIORITY LEVEL 6

Massive 36% Preschool Fee Hike Proposed
The board wants to raise preschool fees from $110 to $150 per month, a 36% increase. This adds up to an extra $400 per year for the district's youngest families, a significant financial burden. Why is the district balancing its budget on the backs of preschool parents while spending on new programs?
Recommended Action
Call Board President Gail Willis at (440) 943-6900: 'A 36% preschool fee hike is unacceptable. Vote NO on Item L.4. Find the money elsewhere instead of punishing young families.'
|
💰 Cost: $400 per family, per year

PRIORITY LEVEL 5
|
|
Paying Teachers Extra for Behavioral Programming
|
📅 Meeting on March 19, 2026
|
Item K.1 shows payments to four teachers for 'PBIS Assembly Planning.' PBIS (Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports) is often the first step toward implementing district-wide Social Emotional Learning (SEL) and data-mining student behavior. This is how ideological frameworks get embedded, one small payment at a time.
Recommended Action
Public Question: Email Superintendent Michael Chokshi at michael.chokshi@wickliffecsd.org: 'Regarding the PBIS payments in Item K.1, what specific behavioral data is being collected on students through the PBIS framework, and who has access to it?'
|
💰 Cost: Data Collection & Future SEL Costs
