District to Spend $16,000 on Student Intervention & Data System
The board is approving a $16,000 payment and annual contract with Branching Minds for a “Multi-Tiered System of Supports” (MTSS) for all grades, K-12. These systems collect sensitive student data to assign behavioral and academic interventions, often without full parental knowledge or consent.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Email Superintendent Damon Davis at ddavis@readingschools.org and call the Board at (513) 554-1800. Ask them: ‘Regarding Items VIII.D and III.D, what specific student data does Branching Minds collect, who has access to it, and what is the parental consent process before a child is placed in an MTSS intervention? This contract must be pulled for public discussion.’
💰 Impact: $16,000.00

Vague “Policy Update” on First Reading
The board is holding a “1st Reading” of a “Fall Neola Policy Update.” Neola is a third-party vendor that often drafts policies on sensitive topics like gender identity, parental rights, and library books, and a “first reading” is the best time for parents to have a voice.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: Email Superintendent Damon Davis at ddavis@readingschools.org before the meeting: ‘Regarding Item VI.A, please immediately post the full text of the proposed Neola policy updates online for public review before the Board takes any action.’
💰 Impact: Eroding Parental Rights

New Contract for “School Health Services”
The board is approving a contract with “The HealthCare Connection, Inc” for “School Health Services.” This could establish a school-based clinic, which may provide services to students without direct parental consent or presence.
Recommended Action Plan
OPT-OUT ALERT: Email Superintendent Damon Davis at ddavis@readingschools.org: ‘Regarding the contract with The HealthCare Connection in Item III.D, what specific services will be offered to students, and what is the explicit, written parental consent process for each service? Will parents be present for all services provided to their minor child?’
💰 Impact: Services Without Consent

Adopting State Special Ed Policies Without Public Review
The board plans to adopt the state’s “Special Education Model Policies and Procedures” for the school year. The actual policy document has not been attached to the agenda, preventing parents from reviewing changes that directly impact their children’s rights and services.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: Call the Board at (513) 554-1800 and email Superintendent Damon Davis at ddavis@readingschools.org: ‘Regarding Item III.F, the Special Education Model Policies must be posted for public review with a summary of all changes from last year before the Board votes to adopt them.’
💰 Impact: Undisclosed Policy Changes
