Summary — 5/1/2026:
Our monitoring of Groveport Madison Local, Local School District has identified 7 agenda items that warrant community action.
|
PRIORITY LEVEL 9
|
|
Secret Curriculum Contract with Major Publisher
The Superintendent is asking for approval of contracts with HMH Education, a massive curriculum publisher. No contract documents are attached for public review. This is a blank check for potentially ideological classroom materials without any transparency on cost or content.
Recommended Action
Call Superintendent James Grube at (614) 492-2520: 'I demand the vote on the HMH Education contract be tabled until the full contract is posted publicly for at least 7 days. We will not approve secret curriculum deals.'
|
💰 Cost: Undisclosed (Transparency Violation)
|
|
|
PRIORITY LEVEL 8
|
|
Hidden Special Ed Contracts on Consent Agenda
Item E.4 asks the Board to approve 'special education contracts' bundled in the consent agenda, but no contracts are attached. This prevents parents from seeing which outside vendors will be working with our most vulnerable students. This is a major transparency failure.
Recommended Action
Call Board President Latoya Dowdell-Burger at (614) 492-2520: 'I demand Item E.4, Special Education Contracts, be pulled from the Consent Agenda. The public has a right to see these documents before you vote.'
|
💰 Cost: Undisclosed (Transparency Violation)

PRIORITY LEVEL 8

|
District to Approve Controversial Amplify Curriculum
The Board is voting on a contract with Amplify (Item H.6), a curriculum vendor known for embedding progressive social concepts into its lessons. This is a significant curriculum shift that could bring ideological activism into core subjects like science and literacy. The contract must be scrutinized.
Recommended Action
Email Superintendent James Grube via the District Office at (614) 492-2520: 'Regarding Item H.6, what is the total cost of the Amplify contract and which specific curriculum modules are being purchased? Parents need to review these materials before any vote.'
|
💰 Cost: Vague Title - Manual Review Required
|
|
|
PRIORITY LEVEL 7
|
|
Resolution to Suspend Employee Contracts
Under the guise of 'Budget Reductions,' the Board is voting on a resolution to suspend employee contracts. The attached document needs immediate review to determine if they are cutting essential teachers while protecting administrative bloat or using this as a tool to remove staff who don't align with their agenda.
Recommended Action
Call Board President Latoya Dowdell-Burger at (614) 492-2520: 'Regarding Item C.8, what are the specific criteria for contract suspensions? The public must know if classroom teachers are being targeted over administrators.'
|
💰 Cost: Undefined Staff Cuts
|
|
|
PRIORITY LEVEL 7
|
|
Final Vote on Vaguely Titled 'IGCG-R' Policy
The Board is holding a final vote ('Second Read') on Policy IGCG-R. The vague title hides its true purpose. Policies like this are often used to quietly change rules on curriculum, student discipline, or parental rights. This could be a major policy shift disguised by a code number.
Recommended Action
INVESTIGATE: Review the file 'IGCG-R_04132026.pdf' attached in the Official Agenda to determine if it contains sensitive policy changes. Contact the Board immediately if it impacts parental rights or academic standards.
|
💰 Cost: Potential Policy Change
|
|
|
PRIORITY LEVEL 7
|
|
Outsourcing After-School Care to Third Party
The district plans to approve a contract with 'Right at School' to manage before- and after-school programs. Outsourcing these services can introduce Social Emotional Learning (SEL) and other ideological programs with less direct oversight from the Board and parents.
Recommended Action
Email Superintendent James Grube via the District Office at (614) 492-2520: 'Regarding the 'Right at School' contract, will their staff be required to follow district policy on controversial topics? Who is liable for their programming?'
|
💰 Cost: Vague Title - Manual Review Required
|
|
|
PRIORITY LEVEL 6
|
|
Personnel Hires Hidden in Bundled Vote
The Board has bundled all new administrative, certified, and non-certified staff hires into the Consent Agenda (Items E.1, E.2, E.3). This is a classic tactic to approve controversial positions, like a 'DEI Coordinator' or 'SEL Coach,' without a public discussion or individual vote.
Recommended Action
Procedural Demand: Call Board President Latoya Dowdell-Burger at (614) 492-2520: 'I demand all new administrative positions in Item E.1 be pulled from the Consent Agenda for a separate discussion and roll-call vote.'
|
💰 Cost: Potential Activist Bureaucrat
