Summary — 2/18/2026:
Our monitoring of U S Grant has identified 4 agenda items that warrant community action.
PRIORITY LEVEL 9
Board Authorizing $10 Million in Future Debt
📅  Vote on Feb 19, 2026
The Board is pre-authorizing up to $10 million in new debt for vague 'capital expenditures' (Item 9.03). This 'spend now, borrow later' scheme commits taxpayers to a decade of payments for projects that have not been publicly debated or approved. It's a blank check for the administration.
Recommended Action
Call Superintendent Michael Parry at (513) 734-6222: 'I demand you table Item 9.03. The public will not approve a $10 million blank check for future debt. Present specific, fully-costed projects for public review before seeking financing.'
💰  Cost: $10,000,000 in future taxpayer debt
PRIORITY LEVEL 7
Creating a $6 Million Capital 'Slush Fund'
📅  Vote on Feb 19, 2026
The Board is moving $2.5 million from the general budget into a new 'Capital Projects Fund' that can grow to $6 million (Item 9.01). This creates a pool of money for unspecified projects with less oversight, bypassing the normal budget process. What are they planning to spend it on?
Recommended Action
Email Treasurer Kelly Sininger at kelly.sininger@grantcareer.com: 'Regarding Item 9.01, I demand a detailed list of the specific projects this $2.5 million transfer is intended for before you create a new capital fund. This money should not be moved without public transparency.'
💰  Cost: $2,500,000 (Initial Transfer)
PRIORITY LEVEL 6
Negotiating a Secret Land Deal Behind Closed Doors
📅  Negotiations to begin after Feb 19, 2026
The Board is going into a secret 'Executive Session' to discuss buying property at 720 W. Plane Street (Item 7.01). Item 11.02 then authorizes the Superintendent to negotiate the deal. Parents and taxpayers will be kept in the dark about the price and terms until it's too late to object.
Recommended Action
Contact the District Office at (513) 734-6222 and ask for the Board President: 'Before you vote on Item 11.02, I demand the Board state the maximum purchase price they are willing to consider for 720 W. Plane Street. Do not approve a secret, open-ended negotiation.'
💰  Cost: Undefined Liability (Property Purchase)
PRIORITY LEVEL 5
Hiding Student 'Success Plans' in Consent Agenda
📅  Vote on Feb 19, 2026
The Board is hiding multiple 'Career Development' grants in a single vote (Item 8.06). These grants fund 'Student Success Plans' and 'soft skills' training, which can be gateways for data collection and social engineering. Bundling them in the consent agenda prevents public discussion on each program.
Recommended Action
Email the Board President via the District Office at (513) 734-6222: 'I demand Item 8.06 be pulled from the Consent Agenda for a separate discussion and vote. The public deserves to know what data is collected in these Student Success Plans before they are funded.'
💰  Cost: $20,000 (Total Grants)
