Heads up! Our parent watchdogs have scanned the upcoming agenda for Clinton-Massie Local. We found 4 items that need your immediate attention before the vote.
| 🚨 HIGH CONCERN (LEVEL 8) |
|
School-Based Health Clinic Bypassing Parents
Hidden in the ‘Consent Agenda’ is a plan to use ‘Student Wellness and Success Funds’ to embed a ‘mental health staff member,’ a ‘social worker,’ and an ‘onsite Greater Tomorrow Health clinic’ directly in our schools. This creates a system where students can receive mental and physical health services without parents being present, blurring the line between education and healthcare and undermining parental authority over their children’s well-being.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Call Superintendent David Moss’s office at (937) 289-2471 and Board President Jeremy Lamb at (937) 289-2471. ‘I demand Item 5.A.1, the Student Wellness and Success Plan, be pulled from the Consent Agenda for a separate discussion and vote. What services will the “Greater Tomorrow Health” clinic provide on-site, and what are the specific parental consent policies for students to see the social worker or mental health staff?’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: $222,893.15 (State/Federal Strings Attached)

| 🚨 HIGH CONCERN (LEVEL 8) |
|
District Hiring In-House Mental Health Therapist
As part of the ‘Student Wellness’ plan, the board is voting on the consent agenda to hire a dedicated ‘Mental Health Therapist.’ This isn’t a guidance counselor focused on academics; this is a therapeutic role, bringing clinical mental health services inside the school walls. This hire further expands the school’s mission from education into healthcare, creating a direct line for psychological intervention with students, potentially without full parental knowledge or consent.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Call Board President Jeremy Lamb at (937) 289-2471. ‘I demand the hiring of the Mental Health Therapist, Item 5.G.5, be pulled from the Consent Agenda. The community deserves a public discussion on the roles, responsibilities, and parental consent protocols for this new position before it is approved.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Salary and benefits for a new, non-academic position (Step MA-5).

| ⚠️ NEEDS REVIEW (LEVEL 6) |
|
School Tracking Absences to Justify Family Intervention
The board is introducing a new ‘Student Absences’ policy (Item 4.F.1) that uses bureaucratic language like ‘Multi-Tiered System of Supports (MTSS)’ and ‘Universal Screening.’ This isn’t just about taking attendance. It creates a data-tracking system to flag students for an ‘absence intervention team.’ This opens the door for the school to investigate your family’s ‘root causes’ for absences, potentially leading to intrusive questioning and interventions that overstep the school’s role.
Recommended Action Plan
QUESTION AT THE PODIUM: This is a ‘First Read,’ so we can stop it now. Sign up for public comment. Call Board President Jeremy Lamb at (937) 289-2471: ‘I am concerned about the data collection and intervention language in Policy JED. What specific “universal screening” tools will be used, and what are the exact powers of the “absence intervention team”? Parents must have the right to opt-out of this data profiling.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Staff time and future costs for ‘early warning system’ software.

| ALERT (LEVEL 4) |
|
Embedding ‘Whole Child’ Ideology in Student Handbooks
The new student handbooks (Item 5.A.4), up for approval on the consent agenda, include language like ‘social, and emotional growth’ and a ‘Whole-Child Focus.’ These are not just feel-good phrases; they are key terms for an educational philosophy that shifts focus from core academics to the school managing a child’s emotional and social life, a role that belongs to parents.
Recommended Action Plan
OPT-OUT ALERT: Call Superintendent David Moss’s office at (937) 289-2471. ‘Regarding the student handbooks in Item 5.A.4, what specific curriculum or programs are used to teach “social and emotional growth”? Parents need to know what this means in the classroom and how to opt their children out of any related surveys or lessons.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Signals a philosophical shift that often leads to expensive Social Emotional Learning (SEL) curriculum purchases.
