📄 View Official Agenda Document
Heads up! Our parent watchdogs have scanned the upcoming agenda for Manchester Local, Local School District. We found 4 items that need your immediate attention before the vote.
🚨 HIGH CONCERN (LEVEL 8)
New Policies Hidden in Student Handbooks
📅 Vote Scheduled July 8, 2026
The board is voting to approve new student handbooks for all schools under Item 9.1. These documents are often used to sneak in major policy changes on discipline (restorative practices), gender identity, and technology use that directly affect your child's daily life and your parental rights.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: We need parents to immediately download and review the new handbooks under Item 9.1 in the official agenda. Look for changes to pronoun policies, discipline, and bathroom access. Email Superintendent Gary Hinton at gary.hinton@panthercountry.org with your findings before the vote.
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Loss of Parental Consent on School Policy
⚠️ NEEDS REVIEW (LEVEL 6)
Vague 'Preschool Intervention' Services Contract
📅 Vote Scheduled July 8, 2026
Buried in the consent agenda (Item 7.1) is a contract with the Southern Ohio ESC for 'Preschool Intervention' services. This vague term can hide programs for behavioral screening, data collection, or social-emotional learning for our youngest students, all without clear parental consent.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Email Superintendent Gary Hinton at gary.hinton@panthercountry.org: 'Pull the Southern Ohio ESC contract from the Consent Agenda (Item 7.1) for a separate discussion and vote. Parents deserve to know exactly what "Preschool Intervention" entails before it's approved.'
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Data Mining & Early Childhood SEL
⚠️ NEEDS REVIEW (LEVEL 5)
Tax Dollars Funding 'Global Citizen' Programs
📅 Budget Approved July 8, 2026
The budget under Item 7.2 allocates over $172,000 for a '21st Century' grant. This is a known pipeline for funding 'Global Citizenship' and other progressive curricula that often replace core academics with social and political agendas. We need to know how this money is being spent in our classrooms.
Recommended Action Plan
ASK THE QUESTION: Email Superintendent Gary Hinton at gary.hinton@panthercountry.org: 'Regarding the $172k appropriation for the "21st Century" grant (Fund 509), please provide a detailed breakdown of the vendors and curriculum funded by this grant.'
💰 Taxpayer Impact: $172,092.95 for Ideological Programs
⚠️ NEEDS REVIEW (LEVEL 4)
Limiting Parent Voices at Board Meetings
📅 Policy in effect July 8, 2026
The board is enforcing a 30-minute total time limit for all public comments (Item 5.1). This rule can be used to shut down parent feedback on controversial topics by running out the clock. Parents must be able to hold the board accountable without being silenced by arbitrary time limits.
Recommended Action Plan
Email Superintendent Gary Hinton at gary.hinton@panthercountry.org and call Board President Steve Rector at (330) 882-4157: 'I urge the Board to waive the 30-minute public comment limit when parent turnout is high. Ensuring every parent is heard is essential for transparency.'
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Suppression of Public Dissent
