Summary — 3/6/2026:
Our monitoring of Worthington City, City School District has identified 6 agenda items that warrant community action.
|
PRIORITY LEVEL 10
|
|
Secret Three-Year Teacher Union Contract Vote
|
📅 Vote Scheduled March 9, 2026
|
The Board is voting to approve a new three-year contract with the teachers' union, but the document has not been made public. This contract controls millions in salary and benefits and can contain policies that weaken academic standards or block the removal of underperforming teachers. This is a massive financial commitment being made in the dark.
Recommended Action
Ultimatum: Call Board President Nicolette Hudson at (614) 450-6000: 'If you vote YES on Item J-1 without releasing the full proposed union contract to the public for at least 14 days, we will immediately launch a campaign to recall you. Table this vote now.'
|
💰 Cost: Blank Check (Tens of Millions)
|
|
|
PRIORITY LEVEL 8
|
|
Board to Authorize 2027 Property Tax Levies
|
📅 Vote Scheduled March 9, 2026
|
Under Item I-2, the Board is voting to approve the 'initial rates and amounts' for property taxes to be collected in 2027. This is the first official step in locking in your future tax bill. While presented as routine, it authorizes the county to levy taxes against your home and must be scrutinized.
Recommended Action
Call Treasurer Thomas Cusick via the District Office at (614) 450-6000: 'Before the Board votes on Item I-2, please explain in plain English how this resolution will impact the average homeowner's property tax bill in 2027. We demand a clear financial impact statement.'
|
💰 Cost: Future Tax Increases
|
|
|
PRIORITY LEVEL 7
|
|
Vague 'Supplemental' Contracts Hidden on Consent Agenda
|
📅 Vote Scheduled March 9, 2026
|
The Board is trying to approve a list of 'supplemental' employee contracts (Item G-5) without individual discussion by hiding it in the consent agenda. The details are buried in a PDF file, a classic tactic to pass controversial stipends for club advisors or other roles without public scrutiny.
Recommended Action
Procedural Demand: Email Board President Nicolette Hudson via the district office: 'I demand Item G-5, Supplemental Employment, be pulled from the Consent Agenda for a separate discussion and roll-call vote. The public deserves to know exactly who and what we are paying for.' Contact the district at (614) 450-6000.
|
💰 Cost: Undisclosed (Buried in PDF)
|
|
|
PRIORITY LEVEL 7
|
|
Undisclosed 'Performance Contracts' Rushed to Vote
|
📅 Vote Scheduled March 9, 2026
|
The Board is voting to approve a batch of 'performance contracts' (Item G-9) bundled into the consent agenda. The public has no idea what these contracts are for—it could be for legitimate tutoring or for paying staff to attend ideological training. This lack of transparency is unacceptable.
Recommended Action
Call Board President Nicolette Hudson at the District Office (614) 450-6000 and state: 'Item G-9, Performance Contracts, must be removed from the consent agenda and explained in detail. What specific 'performance' are we paying for with these contracts?'
|
💰 Cost: Undisclosed (Buried in PDF)
|
|
|
PRIORITY LEVEL 5
|
|
New English Curriculum Pilot Under Review
|
📅 Update on March 9, 2026
|
The district is presenting an update on a new K-8 English curriculum pilot from the vendor 'Amplify' (Item C-1). Major curriculum changes are often used to introduce controversial social topics. Parents need to review these materials now to see what is being tested in classrooms before it's too late to object.
Recommended Action
Public Question: Email Superintendent Trent Bowers at tbowers@wscloud.org: 'Regarding the Amplify ELA pilot, please provide parents with full digital access to all pilot materials being used in classrooms. We must have transparency before any adoption is considered.'
|
💰 Cost: Future Multi-Million Dollar Contract
|
|
|
PRIORITY LEVEL 4
|
|
Paying a Union Leader for Vague Summer Work
|
📅 Vote Scheduled March 9, 2026
|
The Board plans to pay a 'WSEA Teacher Leader' a stipend for 50 hours of summer work (Item G-10). WSEA is the teachers' union. This could be a taxpayer-funded payment for union business disguised as a district program, as the purpose of this role is not clearly defined.
Recommended Action
Public Question: Email Superintendent Trent Bowers at tbowers@wscloud.org: 'Regarding the stipend for the WSEA Teacher Leader in Item G-10, please provide a detailed job description and list of deliverables for this role before the vote. Taxpayers should not be funding ambiguous union activities.'
