District to Spend $17,530 on Student Surveillance Software
The board is set to approve the purchase of ‘Minga,’ a software bundle that includes a ‘Behavior Module.’ This system creates a digital dossier on students by tracking their behavior, creating a permanent record that could follow them and be used to justify interventions without full parental context or consent.
Recommended Action Plan
PACK THE ROOM & DEMAND A ‘NO’ VOTE: Email Superintendent Tracey Deagle at deaglet@gjps.org and call all board members at (614) 471-7065. ‘Vote NO on Item D.3, the Minga software. We will not approve spending $17,530 on a ‘Behavior Module’ to create digital surveillance files on our children.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: $17,530.00

Secret ‘Resolution Agreement’ on Agenda
Item D.6 asks the board to approve a ‘Resolution Agreement’ with absolutely no description, no attached document, and no context. This is a major transparency violation that could be used to hide anything from a legal settlement to the adoption of a radical new policy without public input.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Email Superintendent Tracey Deagle at deaglet@gjps.org and call Board President Kara Coates at (614) 471-7065: ‘Item D.6, the ‘Resolution Agreement,’ must be pulled from the agenda immediately. The public has a right to see the full text of any agreement before the board votes on it.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Undisclosed Policy Change

| ⚠️ NEEDS REVIEW (LEVEL 6) |

Vendor Contract Omits Return of District Data
The district is approving a contract with DocAccess/CivicPlus for website services. A legal addendum to the contract, which was buried in the agenda packet, states that the clause requiring the vendor to return the district’s data upon contract termination has been ‘intentionally omitted.’ This raises serious questions about who owns and controls district data long-term.
Recommended Action Plan
Call Board President Kara Coates at (614) 471-7065 and email Superintendent Tracey Deagle at deaglet@gjps.org: ‘Item D.2 must be tabled. Why is the district signing a contract where the ‘Return of Data’ clause is ‘intentionally omitted’? The board must not approve this until that language is fixed to protect our data.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: District Data Ownership

District Hires ‘MTSS Data Coaches’
The district is paying two staff members stipends to serve as ‘MTSS Data Coaches.’ MTSS (Multi-Tiered System of Supports) is often a pipeline for collecting behavioral and social-emotional data on students to justify interventions that parents may not be aware of.
Recommended Action Plan
Email Superintendent Tracey Deagle at deaglet@gjps.org: ‘Regarding item C.8, what specific data will the MTSS Data Coaches be collecting on students, who will have access to it, and what is the parental notification and consent process for any interventions that result from this data?’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Student Data Collection
