Summary — 3/9/2026:
Our monitoring of Lima City, City School District has identified 5 agenda items that warrant community action.
|
PRIORITY LEVEL 8
|
|
Hiding Controversial Spending in a Single Vote
Item 9.K asks the board to approve the entire "Superintendent's Report" in one motion. This bundles dozens of items, including extra pay for the controversial PBIS behavior program and after-the-fact payments to consultants. This tactic is designed to avoid discussion on individual spending items.
Recommended Action
Call Board President Deanna Reynolds-Griffin at (419) 996-3448: 'I demand the items in the Superintendent's Report be un-bundled and voted on separately. The public deserves a roll-call vote on the PBIS stipends and consultant payments, not a rubber stamp.'
|
💰 Cost: Hiding multiple spending items
|
|
|
PRIORITY LEVEL 7
|
|
Changing How the Superintendent is Judged
The Board President is proposing a new evaluation form for the Superintendent (Item 8.A). This isn't just paperwork; it changes the district's priorities. We must ensure they aren't adding metrics for ideological goals like 'equity outcomes' or 'social-emotional learning' instead of academic achievement and fiscal responsibility.
Recommended Action
INVESTIGATE: Call Superintendent Andre Rudolph at (419) 996-3448: 'Regarding the new evaluation form, please provide the old form for comparison. We need to see exactly what metrics are being changed before you vote.' Review the 'Superintendent Evaluation.pdf' file attached in the official agenda.
|
💰 Cost: Shifting priorities from academics to activism
|
|
|
PRIORITY LEVEL 6
|
|
Paying Staff Extra for Behavior Modification Program
|
📅 Meeting on March 9, 2026
|
The agenda (Item 9.D) lists dozens of extra payments to staff for "PBIS" meetings and events. PBIS often replaces traditional discipline with behavior modification techniques linked to Social Emotional Learning (SEL). This system can be used to collect sensitive student behavior data and undermine parental authority.
Recommended Action
Email Treasurer Heather Sharp at hsharp@spartan.limacityschools.org: 'Regarding the PBIS stipends, how much is the district spending annually on this program? What specific student data is being collected under PBIS, and can parents opt their children out?'
|
💰 Cost: Undefined (Dozens of stipends)
|
|
|
PRIORITY LEVEL 5
|
|
Paying a Consultant $6,250 Without a Clear Goal
The district paid EnvisionEdPlus, LLC over $6,000 for services rendered before the board officially approved the purchase (Item 6.C). What exactly did this consultant do? These firms often promote ideological programs disguised as 'school improvement' or 'strategic planning.' The public deserves to know what we bought.
Recommended Action
Email Treasurer Heather Sharp at hsharp@spartan.limacityschools.org: 'Regarding PO 2501006 to EnvisionEdPlus, please provide the contract and a detailed summary of services rendered for $6,250 before the Board votes to approve this after-the-fact payment.'
|
|
PRIORITY LEVEL 4
|
|
School Board Suing Businesses for More Tax Money
The board is voting to sue three local property owners to force a higher valuation on their properties (Item 5.A). This is a direct attempt to increase the tax base by litigation, which costs taxpayers money in legal fees and could lead to higher property taxes for everyone.
Recommended Action
Public Question: Call Treasurer Heather Sharp at (419) 996-3448: 'Regarding the property valuation complaints, what is the estimated legal cost to the district for these lawsuits, and what is the potential tax revenue gain? Is this a responsible use of taxpayer money?'
|
💰 Cost: Legal fees for lawsuits
