Secret ‘Student Welfare’ Policy Nears Final Vote
The board is holding a second and final reading to approve three policies titled ‘Student Supervision and Welfare’ (PO 1613, 3213, 4213). Without the text, parents have no way of knowing if these policies include provisions for social transitioning, mental health screenings without consent, or other actions that bypass parental authority.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Call Board President R. Scott Russ at (330) 438-2509 and email Superintendent Jeffery Talbert at talbert_j2@ccsdistrict.org: ‘Post the full text of policies 1613, 3213, and 4213 online immediately. The Board must not vote on a ‘Student Welfare’ policy that parents haven’t been allowed to read.’

Recommended Action Plan

Staff Training in ‘Trauma and Resilience’
The district is paying for a staff member to be certified as a ‘Certified Trauma and Resilience Trainer’ through STARR Commonwealth. This ‘trauma-informed’ approach often shifts classroom focus from academics to therapy and can be used to justify replacing traditional discipline with ‘restorative’ practices.
Recommended Action Plan
Email Superintendent Jeffery Talbert at talbert_j2@ccsdistrict.org: ‘Regarding the STARR Commonwealth training in Item 11.A, will this training material be made available for parental review? Parents need to understand how ‘trauma-informed’ practices will change classroom instruction and student discipline.’
💰 Impact: Therapy in the Classroom

District Hires ‘Student Success Coach’
The district is hiring a ‘Student Success Coach’, a position often used to implement Social Emotional Learning (SEL) or other non-academic interventions. This can shift focus from core subjects to a student’s feelings and behaviors, functioning as a school-based counselor without parental consent.
Recommended Action Plan
OPT-OUT ALERT: Email Superintendent Jeffery Talbert at talbert_j2@ccsdistrict.org: ‘Regarding the new Student Success Coach position in Item 11.B, please provide the job description. Will this coach be implementing SEL or other non-academic interventions, and what is the parental notification and opt-out process?’
💰 Impact: Focus on Feelings, Not Facts
