Summary — 5/21/2026:
Our monitoring of Beachwood City, City School District has identified 4 agenda items that warrant community action.
PRIORITY LEVEL 8
New "Affinity" Policy Opens Door to Segregation
📅  Vote Scheduled May 21, 2026
The Board is voting on "New Board Policy 6465." The title includes the DEI keyword "Affinity," often used to create racially segregated "affinity groups." This is a backdoor attempt to embed divisive identity politics into district operations under the guise of a simple rewards program.
Recommended Action
Email Superintendent Robert Hardis at rph@beachwoodschools.org: 'Regarding Item G.1, Policy 6465, what is the district's definition of an 'Affinity Program'? We oppose any policy that could be used to create or justify student or staff groups segregated by race or identity.'
💰  Cost: Ideological Trojan Horse
PRIORITY LEVEL 7
Massive Policy Overhaul Hidden in One Vote
📅  Vote Scheduled May 21, 2026
The Board is pushing through 15 new and revised policies in a single vote (Item G.1). This bundle includes sensitive topics like "Affinity Programs" and "Artificial Intelligence." This tactic prevents focused public debate and rushes through potentially radical changes without proper oversight. The full 1,435 KB document requires manual review.
Recommended Action
Call Board President Megan Walsh at (216) 464-2600: 'I demand Item G.1 be broken up. The Board must hold separate discussions and votes for each new policy, especially Policy 6465 (Affinity Programs) and Policy 7540.09 (AI). Stop hiding major changes in a bundle.'
💰  Cost: Reduced Transparency and Oversight
PRIORITY LEVEL 7
Taxpayers Funding Vague "Life Skills" Curriculum
📅  Vote Scheduled May 21, 2026
The Board is paying two staff members for 110 hours to write a "Personnel Career & Life Skills" curriculum. This vague title is often a cover for embedding Social Emotional Learning (SEL) and other ideological content into the school day, bypassing parental review of sensitive materials.
Recommended Action
Email Superintendent Robert Hardis at rph@beachwoodschools.org: 'Regarding Item F.2, I demand to see the framework and standards for the 'Personnel Career & Life Skills' curriculum before it is written. Parents have a right to know what is being taught under this vague title.'
💰  Cost: $4,950 (110 hours @ $45/hr)
PRIORITY LEVEL 6
New "Human Rights" Curriculum Lacks Transparency
📅  Vote Scheduled May 21, 2026
The Board is approving payment to create a new "Human Rights & Conflict" course. Without a clear, publicly available curriculum framework, this course could easily become a platform for political activism and divisive concepts like critical race theory, rather than objective historical instruction.
Recommended Action
Call Board President Megan Walsh at (216) 464-2600: 'Before the Board approves payment for the 'Human Rights & Conflict' curriculum in Item F.2, the public must be provided with the proposed course standards and learning objectives. We will not fund a political agenda.'
💰  Cost: $675 (15 hours @ $45/hr)
