Summary — 3/13/2026:
Our monitoring of Southwest Licking Local, Local School District has identified 5 agenda items that warrant community action.
|
PRIORITY LEVEL 8
|
|
Silencing Parents at Board Meetings
The Board is enforcing a rule requiring parents to register 72 hours in advance to speak on agenda items. This is a deliberate attempt to limit public input and prevent parents from addressing critical issues as they arise, making it harder to hold the Board accountable.
Recommended Action
Call Board President Kandee Engle at (740) 927-3941: 'I demand the 72-hour pre-registration rule for public comment be immediately rescinded. This rule silences parents and undermines transparency. Public participation must be accessible, not restricted.'

💰 Cost: Undefined Liability (Reduced accountability, suppressed dissent)

Federal Money for Undisclosed Teacher Training
|
📅 Vote Scheduled Mar 17, 2026

The Board is approving payments to multiple staff members for 'Professional Development' funded by a federal Title II A grant. The specific content of this training is not disclosed, raising concerns about ideological influence or mandates tied to federal dollars.
Recommended Action
Email Superintendent Kasey Rathburn at kperkins@swls.us: 'Regarding the "PD Presenter" stipends under Item 6.E, what specific topics and curricula are being covered in this federally funded professional development? Parents demand transparency on how federal money is shaping our teachers.'
