Heads up! Our parent watchdogs have scanned the upcoming agenda for Winton Woods City. We found 6 items that need your immediate attention before the vote.
| 🚨 HIGH CONCERN (LEVEL 9) |
|
Taxpayer-Funded ‘Global Citizen’ Indoctrination Trips
Under Item 10.08, the Board is approving a package of overnight trips for the “Academy of Global Studies” to St. Louis, NYC, and Phoenix. The district’s own documents state the explicit purpose is to immerse students in the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). These are not academic trips; they are political pilgrimages designed to train students in a specific globalist ideology, using school resources and time.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Email Superintendent Steven Denny at denny.steve@wintonwoods.org: ‘I demand Item 10.08 be pulled for a separate discussion. Why is the district using school trips to promote the United Nations’ political agenda? What is the total cost to parents and the district for these ideological tours?’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Undisclosed cost to parents and taxpayers for travel, plus lost academic instruction time.

Using Your Tax Dollars to Lobby Against School Choice
The Board is voting on Item 10.13 to spend taxpayer money (at $2.00 per student) to join the “Ohio Coalition for Equity and Adequacy of School Funding.” The district’s own resolution makes it clear this group’s purpose is to lobby against school choice programs, including vouchers that empower parents to choose the best education for their children. The school board should be focused on educating students, not using our money to fund a political war against parental rights.
Recommended Action Plan
PACK THE ROOM: Sign up for public comment. Email Superintendent Steven Denny at denny.steve@wintonwoods.org: ‘Vote NO on Item 10.13. Winton Woods taxpayers should not be forced to fund a political lobbying group that works to undermine parental rights and school choice.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Annual dues based on total student enrollment, used for political lobbying.

Secret List of Students Denied Busing
The Board is voting on Item 10.11 to approve a secret list of students for whom they have declared it “impractical to provide pupil transportation.” The agenda provides no list, no criteria, and no justification for this decision. Parents have a right to know if their child is on this list and why the district is failing its obligation to provide transportation.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Call Board President Debra Bryant at (513) 619-2300: ‘Item 10.11 is a vote on a secret list. I demand this item be tabled until the list of affected students and the justification for denying them transportation is made public.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Transparency, and potential transportation costs for affected families.

School Plan Authorizes ‘Home Visits’ for Virtual Days
The district’s new “Virtual Educational Delivery Plan” (Item 10.10) for snow days includes a troubling provision. If a student has trouble connecting online, the plan authorizes school staff to conduct “home visits.” This policy extends the school’s authority into your private home, bypassing parental authority under the guise of “re-establishing connection.”
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Email Superintendent Steven Denny at denny.steve@wintonwoods.org: ‘I object to the ‘home visits’ provision in the Virtual Educational Delivery Plan (Item 10.10). The district has no right to enter a family’s home. This provision must be removed before the plan is approved.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Family privacy and parental authority.

Vague ‘Disrespect’ Policy Could Punish Student Speech
The new Student Code of Conduct (Item 10.09) defines “disrespect” as any speech or behavior that shows “disregard for someone’s feelings, boundaries or authority.” This is a vague, subjective rule that could be used to punish a student for simply disagreeing with a teacher or another student on sensitive topics. It creates a situation where anyone who claims their “feelings” are hurt can trigger a disciplinary action, chilling free speech in the classroom.
Recommended Action Plan
OPT-OUT ALERT: Email Superintendent Steven Denny at denny.steve@wintonwoods.org: ‘Regarding Item 10.09, the definition of ‘disrespect’ is overly broad and will lead to the punishment of constitutionally protected speech. I demand this section be revised to include objective standards before the Board votes.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Your child’s First Amendment rights.

New Property Tax Increase on the November Ballot
Under Item 8.02, the board is voting to place a 6.95 mill tax levy on the November ballot for “current operating expenses.” This will cost homeowners an additional $243 per year for every $100,000 of home value, generating over $5.3 million annually for the district. Before asking for more money, parents deserve to know exactly how the current budget is being spent and what specific “current expenses” this new tax will cover.
Recommended Action Plan
Call Board President Debra Bryant at (513) 619-2300: ‘Before you put another tax levy on the ballot, I demand a public town hall explaining exactly what the $5.3 million will be spent on. We need a line-item budget, not a blank check for ‘current expenses’.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: $5,346,642 annually from taxpayers.
