Summary — 2/17/2026:
Our monitoring of Ashtabula Area City, City School District has identified 4 agenda items that warrant community action.
|
PRIORITY LEVEL 7
|
|
Vague 'SAIL' Program Coming to Classrooms
The Board is voting on a student program called 'SAIL' without providing any public details. Vague acronyms are often used as cover for controversial Social Emotional Learning (SEL) or student data-mining initiatives. Parents have a right to know what this program is before it's approved.
Recommended Action
Email Superintendent Lisa Newsome at lisa.newsome@aacs.net: 'Regarding Item 9.07, what does the SAIL acronym stand for, what does the program teach, and will parents be able to opt their children out? Do not vote until the public has reviewed the curriculum.'
|
💰 Cost: Unknown Program Cost

PRIORITY LEVEL 7

School to Partner with Outside Group
The Board is signing a formal partnership (MOU) with the Boys & Girls Club (BGC). This gives an outside organization direct access to students and facilities, but with no direct accountability to taxpayers. We must verify what curriculum and values BGC will promote inside our schools.
Recommended Action
Call Board President William Niemi at (440) 992-1210: 'I am concerned about the BGC partnership in Item 9.04. What oversight will the Board have over their staff and curriculum? Table this vote until a public review of their materials is complete.'
|
💰 Cost: Undefined Liability
|

PRIORITY LEVEL 6
|
|
Changes to Administrator Pay and Contracts
The Board is amending salaries and contract days for administrators. This could be a routine adjustment, or it could be a move to create or empower a new bureaucratic position to push an ideological agenda. Taxpayers deserve to know exactly which roles are being changed and why.
Recommended Action
Email Superintendent Lisa Newsome at lisa.newsome@aacs.net: 'Regarding Item 9.09, please provide a summary of the changes to administrator contracts and justify the need for these amendments before the Board votes.'
|
💰 Cost: Potential Bureaucratic Bloat
|
|
|
PRIORITY LEVEL 5
|
|
New Hires Hidden in Vague Report
The Board is set to approve a 'Personnel Report' without listing the specific positions being filled. This is how districts hire 'DEI Coordinators' or 'SEL Specialists' without public scrutiny. We need to know who is being hired with our tax dollars and for what purpose.
Recommended Action
INVESTIGATE: Review the file 'Personnel Report February, 2026.pdf' attached in the Official Agenda to determine if it contains new, ideologically-focused job titles before the meeting.
|
💰 Cost: Undisclosed Salaries
