District to Pay $20,000 for ‘Board Governance’ Consultant
The Superintendent is recommending a $20,000 contract with ‘The Write Keys 2 Consulting, LLC’ for ‘customized board governance training.’ This type of training can be used to push ideological frameworks onto board members under the guise of ‘effective leadership,’ potentially aligning them with administrative agendas and away from direct parental oversight.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: Contact Superintendent Olympia Della Flora (see the Official Agenda link for contact info): ‘Regarding Item 6.A, please provide the public with all training materials from The Write Keys 2 Consulting, LLC before the Board votes on this $20,000 contract. Parents have a right to know what ideology is shaping our board’s governance.’
💰 Impact: $20,000

Board Policy Limits Public Comment to 30 Minutes Total
The board’s standing policy on Public Participation limits the entire public comment period to a maximum of 30 minutes for all speakers combined. This severely restricts the ability of parents to voice their concerns and hold the board accountable on important issues.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND MORE TIME: Contact Board President Alonzo Blackwell at (216) 587-6100: ‘The 30-minute total limit on public comment under Item 13.A is insufficient for a district this size. We request the board extend the public participation period to ensure all parent voices can be heard.’
💰 Impact: Restricted Parent Voice

‘Family Engagement’ Committee Redefines Parents’ Role
The purpose of the ‘Family and Community Engagement’ committee is to advance ‘true family engagement beyond traditional parent involvement’ and ensure ‘equitable outcomes.’ This language is often used to treat parents as just one of many ‘stakeholders’ and partner with outside activist groups, diminishing the primary role of parents in their children’s education.
Recommended Action Plan
MONITOR & QUESTION: This is a committee report, not a vote. Contact committee chair Rosalind Moore at (216) 587-6100 and ask: ‘Regarding the purpose of the Family and Community Engagement committee (Item 12.C), can you please define ‘true family engagement’ and confirm that it prioritizes the rights of parents above outside community groups?’
💰 Impact: Diminished Parental Role

‘Wellness’ Committee Paves Way for School-Based Screenings
The ‘Wellness and Safety Advisory Committee’ is tasked with overseeing district ‘health and safety policies,’ including the ‘wellness policy.’ These committees are often used to introduce controversial programs like mental health screenings and school-based clinics that can operate without direct parental consent or presence.
Recommended Action Plan
MONITOR: Keep a close watch on all future recommendations from the Wellness and Safety Advisory Committee (Item 12.I). Contact the District Office at (216) 587-6100 to request to be notified of all meetings of this committee, as they are open to the public.
💰 Impact: Student Health Privacy
