Summary — 3/14/2026:
Our monitoring of Tallmadge City (City School District) has identified 3 agenda items that warrant community action.
PRIORITY LEVEL 8
Board Voting to Adopt Secret 'Policy BF'
📅  Vote Scheduled Mar 18, 2026
The Board is scheduled for a final vote to adopt a policy labeled only as 'BF.' The vague title hides its true purpose. This could be a structural power grab, changing the rules for board oversight or public input without clear disclosure. This tactic avoids public scrutiny.
Recommended Action
Call Board President Mark Fairhurst at (330) 633-3291: 'I demand Item 4.3, Policy BF, be tabled until the Board provides a plain-English summary of all changes. We will not accept a vote on a secret policy.'
💰  Cost: Reduced Board Oversight
PRIORITY LEVEL 7
Vague 'Policy GBCA' Introduced for Review
📅  Meeting on Mar 18, 2026
The Board is introducing a new policy titled 'GBCA' for a first reading. The agenda provides no explanation of what this policy does. This is how controversial changes to staff ethics or conflicts of interest are quietly introduced. It requires manual review of the attached file.
Recommended Action
Call Superintendent Steven Wood at (330) 633-3291: 'Regarding Item 4.2, what is the purpose of Policy GBCA? The public deserves a clear summary before any policy moves forward. Please provide one immediately.'
💰  Cost: Vague Title - Manual Review Required
PRIORITY LEVEL 6
Renewing Contract for Student Data Director
📅  Vote Scheduled Mar 18, 2026
The Board is renewing the contract for the 'Director of Student Services & Data Analytics.' This role is central to collecting and analyzing student data. This solidifies a bureaucratic position that could be used to implement data-mining or behavioral monitoring programs disguised as 'student support.'
Recommended Action
Call Superintendent Steven Wood at (330) 633-3291: 'Regarding Item 5.3, what specific data is the Director of Data Analytics collecting on students, and who is it shared with? We need clear guardrails on this position before renewing the contract.'
💰  Cost: Student Data Privacy Risk
