Summary — 2/18/2026:
Our monitoring of Oak Hill Union Local, Local School District has identified 3 agenda items that warrant community action.
PRIORITY LEVEL 7
Secret Mental Health Services Contract
📅  Vote Scheduled Feb 18, 2026
The Board is approving an agreement with 'Anew Behavioral Health' to provide mental health services to students. The contract (MOU) is not attached for public review. This creates a pipeline for outside activists to counsel children on sensitive topics like gender identity without parental consent.
Recommended Action
Email Treasurer Rhonda Harrison at rhonda.harrison@oakhill.k12.oh.us and call Superintendent Jason Mantell at (740) 682-7595: 'I demand Item 8.C be tabled until the full Memorandum of Understanding with Anew Behavioral Health is posted for public review. What are the specific parental consent and data privacy policies?'
💰  Cost: Secret Contract Terms
PRIORITY LEVEL 5
New 'Forms Campaign' Student Data Software
📅  Vote Scheduled Feb 18, 2026
The district is buying a software add-on called 'Forms Campaign' for $1,000 a year. This vague title could hide a tool for deploying sensitive student surveys on topics like beliefs, feelings, and home life. We need to know what data they plan to collect before they buy it.
Recommended Action
Call Superintendent Jason Mantell at (740) 682-7595: 'Regarding Item 8.H, what specific 'forms' will the SCView software be used for? Will parents have the right to review and opt-out of any surveys or data collection campaigns before they are sent to students?'
💰  Cost: $1,000 Annually + Data Privacy Risk
PRIORITY LEVEL 3
Superintendent Handed a Blank Check
📅  Vote Scheduled Feb 18, 2026
The Board plans to give the Superintendent and Treasurer power to hire a photography service without a public vote on the final contract (Item 5.D). This is a small power grab that sets a dangerous precedent, reducing transparency and accountability for how your money is spent.
Recommended Action
Monitor: This is a small contract, but it's a pattern of reducing oversight. Track if this 'authorization' model is used for more expensive items in the future.
💰  Cost: Blank Check
