Summary — 3/14/2026:
Our monitoring of Benjamin Logan Local, Local School District has identified 3 agenda items that warrant community action.
|
PRIORITY LEVEL 8
|
|
Opaque Review of Student Grading and Class Rank
|
📅 Meeting on March 16, 2026
|
The Board is conducting a 'First Reading' of changes to Policy 5421 (Grading) and 5430 (Class Rank). These are common targets for introducing 'equity grading,' which eliminates merit by de-emphasizing tests and deadlines. The district has not publicly attached the proposed text, preventing parental review.
Recommended Action
Email Superintendent John Scheu and Board President Mark Himmeger: 'Regarding Item 8.A, I demand the full proposed text for policies 5421 and 5430 be released to the public immediately. Table this discussion until parents have had adequate time to review the changes to our grading standards.' Use the district line at (937) 593-9211 to contact them.

New Rules for Accepting Federal Grant Money
|
📅 Meeting on March 16, 2026
|
Under Item 8.A, the Board is changing Policy 6325, which governs how the district accepts federal funds. This could weaken oversight and make it easier to accept grants with ideological strings attached, such as DEI or SEL mandates. The proposed changes have not been made public.
Recommended Action
Email Treasurer Leah Baker at bakerl@benjaminlogan.org: 'Regarding Policy 6325, what specific changes are being made to the procurement process for federal funds? The public must be able to review any policy that could increase our district's dependence on federal money with ideological strings attached.'

PRIORITY LEVEL 5

|
New Artificial Intelligence Policy Lacks Transparency
|
📅 Meeting on March 16, 2026
|
The Board is introducing a new policy for Artificial Intelligence (7540.09) without providing the text for public review. This policy could have major implications for student data privacy, parental consent, and curriculum control. We don't know what data will be collected or who will own it.
Recommended Action
Call Superintendent John Scheu at (937) 593-9211: 'Regarding the new AI policy in Item 8.A, I want to know what protections are in place for student data and parental rights. Release the policy text before any discussion or vote.'
