Summary — 3/5/2026:
Our monitoring of Bedford City, City School District has identified 5 agenda items that warrant community action.
PRIORITY LEVEL 9
Secret Deal With Individual, No Contract Shown
📅  Vote Scheduled March 5, 2026
Under item 5.04, the Board is voting on a secret 'agreement' with an individual named Rondale Reid. The document is not attached to the agenda, hiding the terms from taxpayers. This is a blatant transparency violation that could conceal a legal settlement, a payout, or a lucrative consulting contract.
Recommended Action
Email Superintendent Cassandra Johnson and Board President Eva Boyington (via District Office at (440) 439-1500): 'Item 5.04, the MOU with Rondale Reid, must be tabled until the full text of the agreement is made public. We will not tolerate secret deals made with our tax dollars.'
💰  Cost: Undisclosed Liability
PRIORITY LEVEL 8
District Plan Embeds SEL Curriculum and Surveys
📅  Discussed March 5, 2026
The district's new long-term goals (Item 2.01, GOAL 2) officially mandate using 'SEL curriculum and surveys.' This isn't about academics; it's a plan to embed social-emotional programming into every classroom and use surveys to collect subjective data on your child's attitudes and beliefs, bypassing parental consent.
Recommended Action
Call Board President Eva Boyington at (440) 439-1500: 'Regarding Goal 2 of the One Plan, I demand to know which specific SEL curriculum and surveys will be used. Parents will not accept psychological profiling disguised as education. This must be removed from the district goals.'
💰  Cost: Future spending on SEL vendors and curriculum
PRIORITY LEVEL 7
Vague 'Entrance Requirements' Policy Change Proposed
📅  First Reading on March 5, 2026
The Board is doing a 'First Reading' of a revised policy on 'Entrance Requirements' (Item 7.01). This vague title could conceal major changes to enrollment rules, potentially impacting school choice, medical freedom, or allowing students to enroll based on self-declared gender identity. The details are in the attached PDF.
Recommended Action
INVESTIGATE: Review the file 'Policy 5112.pdf' attached in the Official Agenda to determine if it contains sensitive policy changes regarding enrollment, medical records, or gender identity. Alert the community immediately.
💰  Cost: Potential loss of parental rights
PRIORITY LEVEL 7
Outsourcing School Psychology to Third-Party Vendor
📅  Vote Scheduled March 5, 2026
The district wants to sign a contract with an outside company, 'Learning Insights,' to provide school psychology services (Item 5.03). This outsources your child's mental health care to a private vendor with unknown ideological leanings and data-sharing practices. Who are they, and what do they believe?
Recommended Action
Procedural Demand: Call Board President Eva Boyington at (440) 439-1500: 'I demand Item 5.03 be pulled for a separate discussion. Who is Learning Insights? What is their privacy policy, and do parents have the right to opt-out of their services *before* their child is seen?'
💰  Cost: Undefined Liability
PRIORITY LEVEL 6
Grant Accepted for Behavior Modification Program (PBIS)
📅  Vote Scheduled March 5, 2026
The Board is accepting a $5,000 grant for a 'PBIS' program (Item 6.02). PBIS (Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports) often replaces consequences for misbehavior with psychological interventions, undermining classroom authority and parental discipline. This is a foot in the door for more radical 'restorative justice' policies.
Recommended Action
Public Question: Contact the District Office at (440) 439-1500 and ask for Superintendent Johnson: 'Regarding the PBIS grant in Item 6.02, how does this program affect the student code of conduct? Will parents be notified if their child is placed in a PBIS intervention?'
💰  Cost: $5,000 (Ideological Strings Attached)
