Heads up! Our parent watchdogs have scanned the upcoming agenda for Cincinnati Public Schools. We found 6 items that need your immediate attention before the vote.
| 🚨 HIGH CONCERN (LEVEL 9) |
|
Hidden Superintendent Recommendations on Consent Agenda
The ‘Superintendent’s Recommendations’ are bundled into the consent agenda, but the 610 KB attachment detailing them is not available for review in the provided documents. This is a common tactic to pass controversial contracts, curriculum, or personnel changes without public scrutiny.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: Open the file ‘6_Superintendent Recommendations 08.03.26.pdf’ in the Official Agenda (linked above) to see what is being hidden. Call Board President Eve Bolton at (513) 363-0425 and demand Item L.1 be pulled from the consent agenda for a full public discussion and vote.
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Undisclosed Spending/Policy

| 🚨 HIGH CONCERN (LEVEL 8) |
|
Hidden Treasurer’s Report on Consent Agenda
The Treasurer’s Report is on the consent agenda, but the document containing the financial details is not available for review. This prevents parents and taxpayers from scrutinizing district spending before it is approved in a block vote.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: Open the file ‘7 Treasurer Report 8.3.2026 (3).pdf’ in the Official Agenda (linked above) to review the financials. Email Treasurer Michael Gustin at gustinm@cpsboe.k12.oh.us: ‘The Treasurer’s Report must be publicly discussed, not rubber-stamped on a consent agenda. Pull Item M.1 for a separate vote.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Lack of Financial Transparency

| ⚠️ NEEDS REVIEW (LEVEL 7) |
|
Board Agenda Rules Restrict Public Comment Time
The official agenda document states the Board President has the discretion to limit public comment to as little as one minute per speaker and can cap the total time for any single issue. This rule can be used to silence parents and rush through controversial topics without adequate public input.
Recommended Action Plan
Call Board President Eve Bolton at (513) 363-0425: ‘I am concerned by the rules in the agenda that allow you to arbitrarily limit public comment. We demand a firm, guaranteed three-minute minimum for every parent who signs up to speak.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Your Voice Silenced

| 👀 MONITOR (LEVEL 5) |
|
District Officially Promotes Pride Parade
An official ‘Announcements’ presentation from the Superintendent’s office celebrates the district’s involvement in ‘The Pride Parade.’ This shows the district is using its official channels and resources to promote specific ideologies on gender and sexuality, rather than focusing on academics.
Recommended Action Plan
Email Superintendent Shauna Murphy at murphys@cps-k12.org: ‘Regarding the August 3rd announcements, school resources should focus on academic excellence, not promoting divisive events like the Pride Parade. Please confirm no district funds were used for this.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Taxpayer-Funded Activism
|
| ALERT (LEVEL 4) |
|
State Report Card Focuses on ‘Chronic Absenteeism’
A presentation on the Ohio Report Card highlights ‘Chronic Absenteeism’ as a key metric for the district. This term is often a gateway for increased surveillance of students and families, potentially leading to intrusive interventions like home visits.
Recommended Action Plan
Email Superintendent Shauna Murphy at murphys@cps-k12.org: ‘Regarding the Chronic Absenteeism metric, what specific interventions does the district use for flagged students, and what is the policy for notifying parents before any action is taken?’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Student Surveillance

WIN: Board Moves to Rescind 0.75% Income Tax Hike
The board is scheduled to vote on a motion to rescind a previously proposed 0.75% school district income tax. This is a significant victory for taxpayers, preventing a further financial burden on families in the district.
How to Lock It In
Show up to thank the Board for listening to the community and get this on the record. Email Treasurer Michael Gustin at gustinm@cpsboe.k12.oh.us: ‘Thank you for your fiscal responsibility in moving to rescind the proposed income tax hike.’
✅ Why It Matters: Taxpayer Savings
