| HIGH CONCERN (LEVEL 9) |

Board to Vote on Undisclosed Policies, Including ‘Political Ideology’ Rules
The Board is bundling numerous new and revised policies into a single vote on the consent agenda (Item 13.E), preventing public discussion on each. The actual text for these policies was not included in the agenda, including the highly sensitive ‘Policy 2265 Protections of individual Beliefs… of Political Movements and Ideology’ and a policy on student medication (5330) for which the final reading is being waived.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Call Board President Gabrielle Kelly at (216) 797-2915 and email Superintendent Christopher Papouras at cpapouras@euclidschools.org. Demand that ‘Item 13.E, the Consent Agenda for Policies, be removed from the consent agenda. Each policy, especially 2265 and 5330, must be discussed and voted on separately, and only after the full text has been made public for parental review.’
💰 Impact: Reduced Board Oversight

District Spends on ‘MTSS’ Social-Emotional Program
The district is paying a $1,799 stipend for a staff member to serve on the ‘MTSS Leadership Team’ (Item 7.A). MTSS, or Multi-Tiered System of Supports, is often a framework for implementing Social Emotional Learning (SEL) and behavioral interventions on students without direct parental consent.
Recommended Action Plan
ASK FIRST: Email Superintendent Christopher Papouras at cpapouras@euclidschools.org: ‘Regarding the MTSS Leadership stipend in Personnel item 7.A, what specific programs, curricula, and student interventions fall under the district’s MTSS framework? How are parents notified and asked for consent before their child receives MTSS interventions?’
💰 Impact: $1,799

| ALERT (LEVEL 3) |

District Notice Limits Public’s Role at Board Meetings
The meeting notice (Item 21.B) states the board meeting ‘is not to be considered a public meeting,’ but rather a ‘meeting of the Board of Education in public.’ This legalistic language is often used to discourage public interaction and reinforce the idea that parents are spectators, not participants in their children’s education.
Recommended Action Plan
KNOW YOUR RIGHTS: This language is designed to be intimidating. Remember that you have a right to speak during the designated public comment periods (Items 5.A and 16). Sign up and make your voice heard on the issues that matter.
💰 Impact: Parental Voice Limited

WIN: District Partners for Manufacturing Pre-Apprenticeship Program
The Board is approving a partnership with MAGNET’s Early College Early Career Program (Item 8.A). This gives 11th and 12th grade students a chance to get hands-on career training, mentoring, and work experience in manufacturing at no cost to the district, focusing on real-world skills.
How to Lock It In
AMPLIFY THIS WIN: Email Superintendent Christopher Papouras ( cpapouras@euclidschools.org) and call the Board at (216) 797-2915 to thank them for approving Item 8.A. Praise their focus on real-world skills and career pathways for students.
✅ Why It Matters: No Cost to District
