Summary — 3/13/2026:
Our monitoring of Cincinnati Public Schools, City School District has identified 5 agenda items that warrant community action.
|
PRIORITY LEVEL 9
|
|
Plan to Pilot 'Equity Grading' in 2026
|
📅 Meeting on March 13, 2026
|
The board is considering Policy 5421, a pilot program for 'equity grading.' This replaces traditional grading with policies that can eliminate zeros for missing work and reduce the weight of tests. It's a direct assault on academic standards and accountability, punishing students who work hard.
Recommended Action
Email Superintendent Shauna Murphy at murphys@cps-k12.org: 'I demand you reject Policy 5421. Our children need high academic standards, not equity grading that hides failure. Keep merit in our classrooms.'
|
💰 Cost: Lowered Academic Standards
|
|
|
PRIORITY LEVEL 8
|
|
Turning Schools into Social Service Hubs
|
📅 Meeting on March 13, 2026
|
The board is reviewing the 'Community Learning Centers' policy. This model expands the school's mission from education to all-in-one social service hubs, opening the door for outside groups and health services to operate on campus, potentially without full parental consent or oversight.
Recommended Action
Call Board President Eve Bolton at (513) 363-0425: 'Schools must focus on academics, not become social service agencies. I oppose the expansion of the Community Learning Center model. Keep the focus on education.'
|
💰 Cost: Mission Creep, Undefined Liability
|
|
|
PRIORITY LEVEL 7
|
|
Rewriting Student Privacy and Secrecy Rules
|
📅 Meeting on March 13, 2026
|
The board is reviewing policies on student records (8330) and confidentiality (8350). Changes could weaken your rights, expand data sharing with third-party vendors, and create new secrecy policies that cut parents out of the loop on sensitive health and counseling issues. Your right to know is at risk.
Recommended Action
INVESTIGATE: Review the attached redline files for Policies 8330 and 8350 in the official agenda. Email the Board President: 'Do not weaken parental rights or student data protections in Policies 8330 and 8350.'
|
💰 Cost: Loss of Parental Rights
|
|
|
PRIORITY LEVEL 7
|
|
Adopting a National Activist Group's Policy
|
📅 Meeting on March 13, 2026
|
The board is considering a 'model policy' from an outside group called 'School Board Partners.' This is how national political agendas get imported into our local district, bypassing community input. These policies often come with ideological strings attached, affecting everything from hiring to curriculum.
Recommended Action
INVESTIGATE: Review the 'SBP_ModelPolicy_ Legal Counsel.pdf' file in the official agenda. Email Superintendent Shauna Murphy at murphys@cps-k12.org: 'We need local policies, not templates from national activist groups. Reject the School Board Partners model policy.'
|
💰 Cost: Loss of Local Control
|
|
|
PRIORITY LEVEL 5
|
|
Using Tax Dollars for State-Level Lobbying
|
📅 Meeting on March 13, 2026
|
The Board is discussing Senate Bill 311, which relates to charter schools. This is a political move to use our district's resources to take a stance on state-level legislation, potentially opposing school choice options that many parents want and need.
Recommended Action
The Board is taking a political stance on SB 311. We must immediately verify if this bill protects parental rights or expands school choice. If so, why is our Board using tax dollars to fight it? Email the Board President this question.
|
💰 Cost: Taxpayer-Funded Lobbying
