Summary โ€” 3/6/2026:
Our monitoring of Franklin City, City School District has identified 4 agenda items that warrant community action.
PRIORITY LEVEL 8
Secret Policy Changes Hidden in Vague Update
๐Ÿ“…  First Read on March 9, 2026
The Board is introducing a 'Winter Update' to its policy manual (Item 4.C) without providing any text or summary. This is a classic bureaucratic trick to pass controversial changesโ€”like new gender identity rules or curriculum mandatesโ€”without public scrutiny. What are they trying to hide from parents?
Recommended Action
Procedural Demand: Call Board President Lori Raleigh at (937) 743-8602. State: 'I demand a full, plain-English summary of every policy change in Item 4.C be posted online immediately. We will not accept secret policy changes.'
๐Ÿ’ฐ  Cost: Undefined Liability
PRIORITY LEVEL 7
Rewriting the District's Mission Statement
๐Ÿ“…  Discussion on March 9, 2026
The Board is reviewing its 'Mission, Vision, and Goals' (Item 8.C). This is where activists insert ideological poison pills like 'anti-racism' or 'global citizenship.' These vague terms are then used to justify radical curriculum and policies. We must ensure the focus remains on academic excellence.
Recommended Action
Public Comment: Attend the meeting on March 9th. During public comment, state: 'I urge the Board to ensure the new mission statement prioritizes academic achievement and parental rights, and explicitly rejects divisive ideological concepts.'
๐Ÿ’ฐ  Cost: Ideological Capture
PRIORITY LEVEL 5
Federal Grant Could Bring Climate Agenda
๐Ÿ“…  First Read on March 9, 2026
The Board is considering a 'Safest Routes to School Grant' (Item 4.G). While safety is good, these grants often come with strings attached, pushing a 'climate change' agenda and collecting data on your family's travel habits. This is how federal ideology creeps into local communities.
Recommended Action
Public Question: Call Superintendent Michael Sander at (937) 743-8602. Ask: 'Regarding Item 4.G, will this grant require the district to adopt any climate-related policies or share student data with outside agencies? Please provide the full grant application.'
๐Ÿ’ฐ  Cost: Federal Strings Attached
PRIORITY LEVEL 3
Cutting Tech Staff, Increasing Vendor Risk
๐Ÿ“…  Effective for 2026-2027 School Year
The district is cutting an in-house computer technician (Item 6.I). This may seem like a simple budget cut, but it makes the district more reliant on outside software vendors. Who will oversee student data privacy and tech security when our own expert staff is being reduced?
Recommended Action
Monitor: Track future technology contracts. Is the district replacing staff with expensive, unaccountable vendors who will control student data?
๐Ÿ’ฐ  Cost: Increased reliance on outside vendors
