Summary — 3/11/2026:
Our monitoring of Yellow Springs Exempted Village, Exempt School District has identified 4 agenda items that warrant community action.
PRIORITY LEVEL 9
Blank Check $750,000 Contract on Consent
📅  March 11, 2026
The board plans to approve a $750,000 contract with the Greene County ESC for unspecified 'services' without a public discussion. The final cost is also open-ended. This is a massive expenditure of taxpayer money that could be funding anything from special education to ideological consultants.
Recommended Action
Procedural Demand: Call Board President Judith Hemplfing at (937) 767-7381: 'I demand Item 5.3, the $750,000 GCESC contract, be pulled from the Consent Agenda for a full presentation and a separate roll-call vote. The public deserves to know what this money is for.'
💰  Cost: $750,000+
PRIORITY LEVEL 8
School-to-Court Student Data Sharing
📅  March 11, 2026
The board is approving a 'Handle with Care' agreement with the Juvenile Court. This program creates a direct pipeline of information about students and their families between the school and the court system, potentially without parental knowledge or consent, under the guise of 'care'.
Recommended Action
Public Question: Call Superintendent Terri Holden at (937) 767-7381: 'Regarding the 'Handle with Care' MOU (Item 5.4), what specific family or student data will be shared with the Juvenile Court, and what is the parental opt-out process? This must be clarified before any vote.'
💰  Cost: Loss of Student Privacy
PRIORITY LEVEL 8
Hidden Policy Changes in Vague Batch Vote
📅  March 11, 2026
The board is pushing through a first reading of 11 different policy revisions using only obscure numerical titles. This tactic makes it impossible for parents to know what is changing. These could contain anything from new grading rules to controversial gender policies, buried in the fine print.
Recommended Action
Procedural Demand: Call Board President Judith Hemplfing at (937) 767-7381: 'I demand Item 4.1 be tabled. Each policy must be presented with a clear title and a summary of changes, not just a number. The public cannot provide feedback on policies we can't understand.'
💰  Cost: Undefined Liability (Embedded Ideology)
PRIORITY LEVEL 5
Ideological Litmus Test for STEM Teacher
📅  March 11, 2026
A revised job description for a STEM teacher is hidden on the consent agenda. This is a common tactic to insert ideological requirements into hiring, prioritizing activism over academic excellence. We must verify this isn't a backdoor for 'Climate Justice' or other agendas in the science classroom.
Recommended Action
INVESTIGATE: Review the 'STEM TEACHER' job description file attached in the Official Agenda. If it contains ideological language, call the district at (937) 767-7381 and demand the Board remove it from the consent agenda and revise it to focus on academic qualifications.
💰  Cost: Lowered Academic Standards
