Summary — 3/26/2026:
Our monitoring of Bethel-Tate Local, Local School District has identified 4 agenda items that warrant community action.
|
PRIORITY LEVEL 8
|
|
Secret Deal: Undisclosed MOU for Payment
|
📅 Vote Scheduled Mar 30, 2026
|
Item 6.F on the Superintendent's Consent Agenda is a 'Memorandum of Understanding for payment' with no public details or attached document. This is a transparency violation, hiding potential financial commitments or policy agreements with an unknown entity from public scrutiny.
Recommended Action
Email Superintendent Melissa Kircher at kircher_m@betheltate.org and Treasurer Karen Royer at karen.royer@betheltate.org: 'I demand Item 6.F, the 'Memorandum of Understanding for payment,' be immediately pulled from the Consent Agenda. Full details, including the recipient and purpose of payment, must be disclosed to the public before any vote.'

💰 Cost: Undefined Liability (Secret Agreement)

Silencing Parents: 20-Minute Public Comment Limit
The Board is limiting all public participation to a total of 20 minutes per meeting. This structural change can easily shut down community input on critical issues, making it harder for parents and taxpayers to hold the Board accountable for decisions affecting their children and tax dollars.
Recommended Action
Call Board President Tiffiany Riddle at (513) 734-2271 and Email Superintendent Melissa Kircher at kircher_m@betheltate.org: 'I demand the Board remove the 20-minute total limit on public comment. This policy silences community voices and undermines transparency. Our children and tax dollars deserve full accountability.'
|
💰 Cost: Undefined (Loss of Public Accountability)

Hidden Agendas in New Board Policies
|
📅 Discussion Mar 30, 2026 (First Read)
|
The Board is introducing a batch of new and revised policies for a 'First Read.' Several titles are vague, including changes to 'Class Rank,' 'Entrance Requirements,' 'Procurement - Federal Grants/Funding,' and 'Affinity, Rewards or Other Discount Programs.' These could hide ideological shifts, federal mandates, or new avenues for radical partnerships.
Recommended Action
Call Board President Tiffiany Riddle at (513) 734-2271 and Email Superintendent Melissa Kircher at kircher_m@betheltate.org: 'I demand a full public explanation and debate on all 'First Read' policies, especially those concerning Class Rank, Federal Grants, and Affinity Programs. Do not rush these through without full transparency and community input.'
|
💰 Cost: Undefined (Potential for Ideological Mandates & Federal Strings)
|
|
|
PRIORITY LEVEL 6
|
|
Unexplained Spending on Consent Agenda
|
📅 Vote Scheduled Mar 30, 2026
|
The Treasurer's Consent Agenda includes approving a 'List of Monthly Bills' (February Disbursement Report), an invoice to 'Hamilton County Education Service Center' for $10,500, and 'Amended Appropriations' (Resolution #1294-26). These items are bundled without clear public explanation, making it difficult to track how taxpayer money is being spent.
Recommended Action
Email Treasurer Karen Royer at karen.royer@betheltate.org: 'I demand a detailed breakdown of the Hamilton County ESC invoice and the specific changes in Resolution #1294-26. Taxpayers deserve to know how their money is being spent before these items are approved on the Consent Agenda.'
|
💰 Cost: $10,500 (ESC Invoice) + Undefined (Amended Appropriations)
