Heads up! Our parent watchdogs have scanned the upcoming agenda for Franklin City. We found 6 items that need your immediate attention before the vote.
| 🚨 HIGH CONCERN (LEVEL 8) |
|
Approving Secret AI Rules for Your Child
| 📅 Vote Scheduled July 27, 2026 |
The board is scheduled for a final vote to approve new “AI Use Guidelines” for all students and staff under Item 6.A. However, the actual policy document has not been attached to the agenda for public review. This policy could expose student data to third parties, introduce biased algorithmic content into the classroom, and create new forms of digital surveillance without any parental oversight or consent.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TO SEE THE POLICY: Call Board President Lori Raleigh at (937) 743-8602. ‘Do not vote on Item 6.A, the AI Use Guidelines, until the full document has been posted online for public review and comment for at least 30 days. We will not allow a secret technology policy to be implemented.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Your child’s data privacy.

Secret Changes to Staff Handbook
| 📅 Discussion Scheduled July 27, 2026 |
Under agenda item 4.A, the board is discussing an “Updated Classified Handbook,” but has failed to provide the document for public review. These handbooks dictate staff conduct and can contain significant policy changes on how employees must handle sensitive topics like student gender identity, pronouns, or discipline, potentially requiring them to conceal information from parents. Voting on a secret document is a major transparency violation.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Call Superintendent Michael Sander’s office at (937) 743-8602. ‘I demand the “Updated Classified Handbook” from Item 4.A be posted publicly online immediately. The board must not vote on secret policies that affect our children.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Undisclosed policy changes affecting staff-student interactions.

| ⚠️ NEEDS REVIEW (LEVEL 7) |
|
Restricting Your Right to Speak
| 📅 Policy in effect July 27, 2026 |
The board’s public participation policy, detailed in Item 3.A, requires parents to submit a written request *before* the meeting to be allowed to speak. This prevents parents from responding to last-minute agenda changes or discussions that arise during the meeting. The board only allows spontaneous comments by a “majority vote” in an “emergency,” effectively giving them the power to silence parents at will. This is a structural barrier to public accountability.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND YOUR RIGHT TO BE HEARD: Call Board President Lori Raleigh at (937) 743-8602. ‘The policy requiring pre-registration to speak at meetings silences parents. We demand this policy be revised to allow open public comment at every meeting.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Your voice and ability to hold the board accountable in real-time.

| ⚠️ NEEDS REVIEW (LEVEL 6) |
|
Hiring a Public Relations Spin Doctor
| 📅 First Read July 27, 2026 |
The board is conducting a “First Read” to hire a “Communications Consultant” (Item 5.J). These roles are often used to control the public narrative, manage parent outrage, and spin controversial policies to the media, rather than to provide genuine transparency. The cost and details of the contract with Peggy Darragh Jeromos have not been made public.
Recommended Action Plan
ASK THE HARD QUESTIONS: Call Treasurer Kevin Hawley’s office at (937) 743-8602. ‘Regarding Item 5.J, what is the total cost of this consultant contract? Please provide a copy of the proposed contract and a list of the consultant’s other school district clients before the board votes.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Undisclosed amount of taxpayer money for public relations.
|
| ⚠️ NEEDS REVIEW (LEVEL 6) |
|
Voting on Undisclosed Technology Use Contracts
| 📅 Vote Scheduled July 27, 2026 |
The board is approving new “Student and Staff AUP Forms” (Item 6.B), which are the technology contracts your child must sign to use school computers and networks. The district has not provided these forms for public review. These documents can contain clauses that give the district broad surveillance powers over your child’s digital activity and communications without your knowledge.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND REVIEW: Call Superintendent Michael Sander’s office at (937) 743-8602. ‘Post the proposed Student AUP forms from Item 6.B online immediately. Parents have a right to review any contract the district requires our children to sign.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Undisclosed terms and conditions affecting student privacy.

Board Pushing for an Income Tax Hike
| 📅 Vote Scheduled July 27, 2026 |
The board is voting on a “Resolution to Proceed” with placing an income tax levy on the ballot (Item 10.A). Before the district asks for more of our money, parents deserve to know exactly how they are spending current tax dollars and hold them accountable for academic results, not ideological programs.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND ACCOUNTABILITY: Call any board member at (937) 743-8602. ‘Before you vote to proceed with a tax levy under Item 10.A, I demand a public presentation detailing every dollar spent on non-academic consultants and programs over the last three years. No more money without full transparency.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Increased income tax for residents.
