Heads up! Our parent watchdogs have scanned the upcoming agenda for Heath City. We found 4 items that need your immediate attention before the vote.
| 🚨 HIGH CONCERN (LEVEL 9) |
|
Secretive Student Data Sharing Agreement
The board is set to approve a ‘Data Support’ agreement with the Fairfield County Educational Service Center (ESC), hidden on the consent agenda to avoid discussion. The district has not provided the contract for public review. This raises serious questions about what student data is being collected, who it’s being shared with, and for what purpose, potentially violating student privacy without parental consent.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Email Superintendent Trevor Thomas at tthomas@heath.k12.oh.us and call Board President Debbie Kelley at (740) 238-7110. Demand that Item F.8 be pulled from the Consent Agenda for a separate discussion and vote. Ask: ‘Who will own our children’s data under this agreement?’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Undisclosed. The potential cost to student privacy is immense.

|
Blank Check for ‘Services’ from County Education Agency
The board plans to approve an undefined ‘Service Contract’ with the Licking County Educational Service Center (LRESC) by burying it in the consent agenda. The actual contract, detailing the services and costs, has not been made public. These vague agreements are often used as a back door to bring in controversial consultants for ‘equity audits,’ ‘restorative practices,’ or other ideological training.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Email Superintendent Trevor Thomas at tthomas@heath.k12.oh.us and call Board President Debbie Kelley at (740) 238-7110. Demand that Item F.7 be pulled from the Consent Agenda and that the full contract be posted online for public review before any vote.
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Undisclosed. The contract could commit taxpayer funds to ideological consultants without public knowledge.

| ⚠️ NEEDS REVIEW (LEVEL 6) |
|
Social-Emotional Learning Program Funded by Stealth
Under ‘Supplemental Personnel,’ the board is funding two ‘Lighthouse’ advisors. ‘Lighthouse’ is the key term for ‘The Leader in Me,’ a school-wide Social Emotional Learning (SEL) program that focuses on shaping student attitudes and behaviors. By funding staff positions instead of voting on the program itself, the district is embedding an SEL curriculum without a transparent public discussion or parental review.
Recommended Action Plan
ASK QUESTIONS: Email Superintendent Trevor Thomas at tthomas@heath.k12.oh.us: ‘Regarding the Lighthouse advisors in Item F.12, is this for The Leader in Me program? If so, when was this SEL program approved by the board, and where can parents review the full curriculum?’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Salaries for two advisors, plus the unknown cost of the underlying ‘Leader in Me’ program and materials.

| 👀 MONITOR (LEVEL 5) |
|
Secret Insurance Policy Approved Retroactively
The board is voting to retroactively approve a bundle of insurance policies, including ‘Cyber’ and ‘Liability’ coverage, without providing the documents for public review. This lack of transparency means parents have no idea what new risks the district is insuring against. Is this related to data breaches, new gender identity policies, or other controversial practices? Approving it ‘retroactively’ and on the consent agenda avoids accountability.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Email Superintendent Trevor Thomas at tthomas@heath.k12.oh.us: ‘I request that Item F.6 be pulled from the consent agenda. Please post the full insurance policies online so parents can understand what new liabilities our district is covering with taxpayer money.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Undisclosed. The policy premium and the nature of the liabilities being covered are unknown.
