Summary — 2/18/2026:
Our monitoring of Milford Exempted Village, Exempt School District has identified 5 agenda items that warrant community action.
PRIORITY LEVEL 7
Tax Dollars for a Political Think Tank
📅  Vote on Feb 19, 2026
The Board plans to approve a vendor contract with the 'Ohio Education Policy Institute' for the Treasurer's office. The agenda gives no details on the cost or purpose. This could be a back-door deal to use your tax money to pay for political lobbying or consulting.
Recommended Action
Call Board President Emily Chesnut at (513) 576-4156: 'I demand the contract with the Ohio Education Policy Institute be pulled from the vendor list for a separate discussion and vote. The public must see the contract and know the cost before approval.'
💰  Cost: Undisclosed
PRIORITY LEVEL 7
A $20,000 Trojan Horse for 'Wellness'
📅  Vote on Feb 19, 2026
The Board is accepting a $20,000 donation for 'Wellness' from The Greater Cincinnati Foundation. 'Wellness' is often code for Social Emotional Learning (SEL) programs and student surveys that can operate without parental consent. We need to see the strings attached to this money.
Recommended Action
Email Treasurer Douglass Ackermann at ackermann_d@milfordschools.org: 'Before the Board accepts the $20,000 wellness donation, please provide the public with the full grant agreement. We must know what conditions The Greater Cincinnati Foundation has placed on this money.'
💰  Cost: $20,000 (Ideological Strings Attached)
PRIORITY LEVEL 6
Public Hearing on Federal Grant Money
📅  Hearing on Feb 19, 2026
The Board is holding a hearing on accepting multiple federal grants (Title I, II, IV, IDEA). This money often comes with strings attached, forcing the district to adopt federal curriculum mandates, data tracking, and 'equity' initiatives that undermine local control and parental rights.
Recommended Action
Email Superintendent Bobbie Fiori at Fiori_b@milfordschools.org: 'Regarding the federal grants hearing, please provide the public with a full list of all conditions, mandates, and data-sharing requirements attached to each grant before the Board proceeds.'
💰  Cost: Federal Strings Attached
PRIORITY LEVEL 6
New Policy on Outside Group Influence
📅  First Reading on Feb 19, 2026
A new policy, 'KMA: Relations with Support Organizations,' is up for a first reading. This policy will define the rules for how groups like the PTA and other outside organizations interact with our schools. The language could be used to give preferential access to activist groups.
Recommended Action
INVESTIGATE: Review the file 'KMA.pdf' attached to Item F.1 in the official agenda. Email the Board any concerns about vague language that could allow ideological groups to gain a foothold in our schools.
💰  Cost: Potential for Undue Influence
PRIORITY LEVEL 5
Secretive New Curriculum Vendor Purchase
📅  Vote on Feb 19, 2026
The Board is approving 'Ventris Learning, LLC' as a new curriculum vendor without providing any details on cost or content. Parents have a right to know what classroom materials are being purchased with their money and to review them before they are approved. This lacks basic transparency.
Recommended Action
Email Superintendent Bobbie Fiori at Fiori_b@milfordschools.org: 'Regarding the Ventris Learning contract, please provide the cost, scope, and a public link to the curriculum materials for parental review before the Board votes.'
💰  Cost: Undisclosed
