Summary — 3/14/2026:
Our monitoring of Kent City, City School District has identified 2 agenda items that warrant community action.
PRIORITY LEVEL 8
Blank Check for State Lobbyist Policies
📅  Vote on March 17, 2026
The Board is voting to adopt unspecified policy updates from the Ohio School Boards Association (OSBA), a state-level lobbying group. This is a blank check. It allows controversial policies on topics like gender identity or 'restorative justice' to be rubber-stamped without any public review or debate.
Recommended Action
Call Board President Colin Boyle at (330) 676-7600 and email Superintendent Thomas Larkin at tlarkin@kentschools.net: 'I demand Item 6.E, the OSBA Policy Update, be tabled immediately. The public must see the full text of every policy change before you vote. Do not rubber-stamp policies from a lobbyist.'
💰  Cost: Loss of Local Control
PRIORITY LEVEL 6
Secret Curriculum Review Happening Now
📅  Meeting on March 17, 2026
The Board is holding a 'review of instructional materials' without telling parents what those materials are. This lack of transparency is how ideological content like Social Emotional Learning (SEL) or biased history lessons get into the classroom. Parents cannot inspect what they cannot see.
Recommended Action
Email Superintendent Thomas Larkin at tlarkin@kentschools.net: 'Regarding agenda item 5.B, provide the public with a complete list and digital access to all "Instructional Materials" being reviewed at the March 17 meeting. Parents have a right to review curriculum before it is discussed.'
