New ‘Behavioral Intervention’ and Restraint Policy
Under Item I.1, the board is introducing a new policy on ‘Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS)’ and ‘Restraint and Seclusion.’ PBIS is often a school-wide data collection system for student behavior linked to SEL, while restraint policies define when staff can physically handle your child.
Recommended Action Plan
PACK THE ROOM: This is a First Reading of Policy JP. Call Board President Anthony Gomez at (330) 926-3800 and sign up to speak. Demand the board explain: ‘What specific behavioral data will be collected on students under PBIS, and what actions justify physical restraint of a child?’
💰 Impact: Your Child’s Data & Safety

Board Restricts Public Comment Rights
The board is enforcing a rule that requires parents to give three business days’ notice to speak on any topic not on the agenda. This prevents parents from responding to breaking news or raising urgent concerns at the meeting.
Recommended Action Plan
Call Board President Anthony Gomez at (330) 926-3800 before the meeting. State clearly: ‘The three-day notice rule in Item C.1.a is an unacceptable barrier to public participation. We demand the right to address our elected officials without pre-screening.’
💰 Impact: Your Right to Speak

New Policy Says District Owns Student Data
The board is reviewing Policy EDE, which states students have ‘no expectation of privacy’ on school devices and that the district owns all data they create. The policy also details new rules for monitoring school-issued devices, both on and off campus.
Recommended Action Plan
Call Board President Anthony Gomez at (330) 926-3800 before the meeting. Ask: ‘Regarding Policy EDE, what specific data is being monitored on student devices, who has access to it, and for how long is it stored? Parents have a right to know.’
💰 Impact: Your Child’s Privacy

Board to Review “Student Wellness” Program
Item I.1 introduces a “Student Wellness Program” policy (EFG-R(1)). While it talks about nutrition, “wellness” is a common euphemism for social-emotional learning (SEL) and mental health programs that can operate without full parental consent.
Recommended Action Plan
This is a First Read. Call Board President Anthony Gomez at (330) 926-3800 and demand that Policy EFG-R(1) explicitly require written parental consent for any non-academic, mental, or emotional health screening or curriculum delivered under the ‘wellness’ banner.
💰 Impact: SEL by Euphemism

District Spends on “Crisis Prevention” Training
The check register in Item F.1 shows a $2,499 payment to the “Crisis Prevention Institute.” This type of training can go beyond basic safety and introduce ideological concepts like “restorative practices” for student discipline.
Recommended Action Plan
Email Treasurer Kristy Stoicoiu at cf_stoicoiuk@cftigers.org: ‘Regarding the payment to Crisis Prevention Institute in the September check register, please provide the board and the public with the training materials used so parents can review them for ideological content.’
💰 Impact: $2,499

| ALERT (LEVEL 4) |
|
District Paying Vendor for i-Ready EdTech
The check register (Item F.1) includes a payment to “Curriculum Associates,” the maker of the i-Ready software. This program adds to student screen time and has been criticized for embedding SEL content into academic subjects.
Recommended Action Plan
Email Treasurer Kristy Stoicoiu at cf_stoicoiuk@cftigers.org: ‘Regarding the payment to Curriculum Associates, has the board published independent, non-vendor-supplied evidence that i-Ready produces academic gains? How much daily screen time does this program add for students?’
💰 Impact: Increased Screen Time
