Heads up! Our parent watchdogs have scanned the upcoming agenda for Crestview Local. We found 4 items that need your immediate attention before the vote.
| 🚨 HIGH CONCERN (LEVEL 8) |
|
Using Your Tax Dollars to Lobby Against You
| 📅 Vote Scheduled July 13, 2026 |
The board is voting to appoint and pay for a delegate to attend the Ohio School Boards Association (OSBA) Capital Conference. The OSBA is a political lobbying group that frequently uses our local tax dollars to fight against parental rights legislation at the state level, including bills for curriculum transparency, school choice, and protecting kids from gender ideology.
Recommended Action Plan
Call Board President Melissa Wellman at (330) 482-5526 and email Superintendent Daniel Hill at dhill@crestviewlocal.k12.oh.us: ‘Regarding Item 8.2, I demand our district cease funding the OSBA’s political lobbying until they publicly support parental rights. Vote NO on sending a delegate to their conference.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Undisclosed travel and conference expenses

Secretive ‘Virtual Learning Plan’ Lacks Transparency
| 📅 Vote Scheduled July 13, 2026 |
The board is voting to approve a ‘Virtual Learning Plan’ for the next school year under Item 8.3. The agenda provides no details, and the attached file is inaccessible, leaving parents completely in the dark about what curriculum, software vendors, and data-sharing policies are included. Virtual programs can be a trojan horse for unvetted, ideological content.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY. Email Superintendent Daniel Hill at dhill@crestviewlocal.k12.oh.us: ‘Item 8.3, the Virtual Learning Plan, must be tabled until the full plan, including all vendors and curriculum, is made public for parental review and comment. We will not approve a secret plan for our children’s education.’

| ⚠️ NEEDS REVIEW (LEVEL 6) |
|
Student Surveillance Disguised as ‘Wellness’
| 📅 Vote Scheduled July 13, 2026 |
Under Item 7.3, the district is paying $11,685.45 for ‘SchoolPass,’ a software that tracks student attendance and ‘campus wellness.’ This is a red flag for data mining. These ‘wellness’ platforms can collect sensitive behavioral or emotional information on your child without your full, informed consent, creating a digital dossier that follows them.
Recommended Action Plan
Email Treasurer Charlene Mercure at cmercure@crestviewlocal.k12.oh.us and Superintendent Daniel Hill at dhill@crestviewlocal.k12.oh.us: ‘Regarding Item 7.3, what specific ‘wellness’ data is SchoolPass collecting on students? Who owns this data, and how can parents opt their children out of this data collection before the contract is approved?’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: $11,685.45

Ideological Activism in STEM Classes
| 📅 Vote Scheduled July 13, 2026 |
The board is paying $3,200 for ‘Project Lead the Way’ (PLTW) curriculum under Item 7.3. While promoted as a simple STEM program, some PLTW modules have been known to embed controversial social and political concepts into science and math lessons, shifting the focus from objective academics to activism.
Recommended Action Plan
Email Superintendent Daniel Hill at dhill@crestviewlocal.k12.oh.us: ‘Regarding the PLTW curriculum in Item 7.3, I request full parental access to review all teacher and student materials before this purchase is finalized to ensure it is focused on academics, not social engineering.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: $3,200.00
