| HIGH CONCERN (LEVEL 9) |

Board to Eliminate Parent’s Right to Record IEP/504 Meetings
Under Item 6.A, the board is voting to ‘rescind’ (delete) the policy that allows parents to record meetings about their child’s education, such as IEP or 504 plan meetings. This removes a critical tool for parents, especially those with special needs children, to ensure the district follows through on its promises and the law.
Recommended Action Plan
PACK THE ROOM: Email Superintendent Adham Schirg at schirg.adham@rrcs.org and call the Board at (440) 356-6000. Demand they vote NO on rescinding Policy 2461 in Item 6.A. ‘Parents have the right to a clear record of the promises made about their child’s education. Do not take away this vital transparency tool.’
💰 Impact: Parental Oversight

District to Hire Consultant for ‘Teacher Selection Interview Training’
The board is voting to approve a contract with the Haberman Educational Foundation for ‘Administrator and Teacher Selection Interview training.’ The contract details are not public, raising concerns about what ideological filters or ‘dispositions’ will be used to screen future teachers hired to instruct our children.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Email Superintendent Adham Schirg at schirg.adham@rrcs.org: ‘Regarding Item 10.C, parents have a right to know how teachers are selected. Please release the full contract and all training materials from the Haberman Educational Foundation for public review before any vote is taken.’
💰 Impact: Ideological Hiring Screens

Undisclosed Contracts for ‘Worksite Marketing’ and Legal Services
The board is voting on Item 7.C to approve contracts with ‘Northwest Worksite Marketing’ and a law firm, but has not provided the contracts or any details about their purpose or cost. This lack of transparency prevents parents and taxpayers from knowing what these agreements entail or how their money is being spent.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Email Superintendent Adham Schirg at schirg.adham@rrcs.org: ‘Item 7.C is an undisclosed action item. The public deserves to see the full contracts with Northwest Worksite Marketing and Grossman & Kelly LLP before the Board votes on them.’
💰 Impact: Undisclosed

| MONITOR (LEVEL 5) |
|
Vague ‘Revised Early Graduation Form’ Requires Scrutiny
The board is voting on a ‘Revised Early Graduation Form’ under Item 10.B, but the proposed form has not been made public with the agenda. Changes to graduation requirements or pathways can impact a student’s future plans, and parents must have a chance to review them before they are approved.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: Open the file ‘Form 5464 F1- Proposed.docx’ attached to Item 10.B in the Official Agenda (linked above) to confirm what changes are being made to early graduation rules before the vote.
💰 Impact: Changes to Academic Path

| Major Win (LEVEL 8) |

Board Approves Policy Protecting Against Compelled Ideological Speech
The Board is giving a second and final reading to Policy 2265, which protects students and staff from being required to express or agree with specific political or ideological beliefs. This policy is a strong defense of free thought and prevents the use of ideological litmus tests in the classroom or for employment.
How to Lock It In
Show up to thank the Board for passing Policy 2265 in Item 6.A. This protects our kids and teachers from ideological litmus tests and is a model policy for other districts to follow. Get this win on the record so it can’t be quietly reversed.
✅ Why It Matters: Protects Free Speech
