Summary — 2/18/2026:
Our monitoring of Edison Local, Local School District has identified 4 agenda items that warrant community action.
|
PRIORITY LEVEL 6
|
|
Vague 'Safety' and 'Expense' Policies Introduced
The Board is introducing three revised policies: Expense Reimbursements (DLC/DLC-R) and Emergency/Safety Plans (EBC). Policies like these can be used to reduce financial oversight or insert ideological definitions of 'safety' into school protocols. This is the first reading, so we must scrutinize them now.
Recommended Action
INVESTIGATE: Review files 'DLC & DLC-R Expense Reimbursement Policies.pdf' and 'EBC.pdf' in the official agenda. Check for increased spending limits for the Superintendent or vague language that could be used to punish students for speech.
|
💰 Cost: Reduced Oversight & Potential for Speech Codes

PRIORITY LEVEL 5

Taxpayer-Funded Teacher 'Tuition Reimbursement'
The Board is approving a new deal with the teachers' union for tuition reimbursement (Item 5.I). What kind of courses are taxpayers funding? This could be a backdoor to pay for teachers to get credentials in ideological subjects that they then bring into the classroom. The details are in the attached MOU.
Recommended Action
Public Question: Call Superintendent George Beattie at (740) 282-0065: 'Regarding Item 5.I, what specific guardrails are in the ETA MOU to ensure taxpayer-funded tuition is only for core subjects, not for degrees in activism or social justice?'
|
💰 Cost: Hidden Future Costs (Funding ideological training)
|
|
|
PRIORITY LEVEL 4
|
|
New Rule Chills Public Comment at Meetings
The Board's public comment guidelines (Item 2.A) now state citizens should attempt to communicate with the Superintendent *before* the meeting. This is a tactic to filter criticism and discourage parents from speaking directly to their elected board. Your right is to address the board, not be prescreened by staff.
Recommended Action
Procedural Demand: During public comment, state: 'The guideline requesting citizens pre-clear comments with the Superintendent is an attempt to chill public speech. I am addressing the Board, my elected representatives, directly as is my right.'
|
💰 Cost: Erosion of Public Accountability
|
|
|
PRIORITY LEVEL 4
|
|
Hiding College Partnership in Consent Agenda
The board is bundling an agreement with Lorain County Community College (Item 4.J) into a single 'yes' vote. This prevents public discussion on the specifics, like data sharing or curriculum influence the college might have. Parents deserve to know the details before it's rubber-stamped.
Recommended Action
Procedural Demand: Call Board President Aaron Richardson at (740) 282-0065: 'I demand Item 4.J, the MOU with Lorain County Community College, be pulled from the Consent Agenda for a separate discussion and roll-call vote.'
|
💰 Cost: Undefined Liability (Data Sharing)
