Over $1M in Hidden Spending on ‘Equity’ Consultants
Buried in a routine financial item titled ‘Then and Now Certificates,’ the district is authorizing over $1 million in retroactive payments to ideological consultants. This includes massive payments to groups like TNTP (The New Teacher Project) and Attuned Education Partners, both known for pushing ‘equity’ and ‘anti-racism’ agendas in schools.
Recommended Action Plan
PACK THE ROOM: This is a massive, hidden expenditure on ideological consultants. Call Board President Sara Elaqad at (216) 838-0000 and demand Item 7.03 be pulled for a full, public discussion. ‘Stop hiding million-dollar payments to equity consultants in routine financial items. Vote NO on these payments.’
💰 Impact: $1.1M+

District Accepts $5.9M Grant for Preschool Programs
The district is accepting a $5.9 million grant from the Ohio Department of Children and Youth to fund preschool. State-run preschool programs often come with strings attached, mandating specific social-emotional curriculum and extensive student data collection through systems like the ‘KinderConnect’ portal mentioned in the grant documents.
Recommended Action Plan
Email Superintendent Warren Morgan at warren.morgan@clevelandmetroschools.org: ‘Regarding Item 7.02, before accepting the $5.9M state preschool grant, please provide the full grant agreement and terms and conditions. Parents have a right to know what curriculum and data collection mandates are tied to this money.’
💰 Impact: $5.9M (State Strings Attached)

Board Appoints Delegates to State Lobbying Group
The Board is appointing members to the Ohio School Boards Association (OSBA). The OSBA is a powerful lobbying group that often takes positions on state laws affecting parental rights, curriculum, and school choice, using our district’s standing and resources to influence state-level politics.
Recommended Action Plan
Call Board President Sara Elaqad at (216) 838-0000: ‘Regarding Item 6.01, I demand to know what positions the OSBA has taken on parental rights legislation. Our district should not be part of a political lobbying group that works against parents.’
💰 Impact: Taxpayer-Funded Lobbying

We fully support this focus on academics and want to see more of it.’
