Heads up! Our parent watchdogs have scanned the upcoming agenda for Independence Local, Local School District. We found 2 items that need your immediate attention before the vote.
|
⚠️ NEEDS REVIEW (LEVEL 7)
|
|
New Mental Health Staff Bypassing Parents
|
📅 Vote Scheduled June 30, 2026
|
The Board is approving a $79,114 contract for two outside 'Mental Health Therapists' to work 40 hours a week in our schools. This contract is buried on the consent agenda, with no details on parental notification or consent policies before a child receives services from these third-party providers.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Email Superintendent Kelli Cogan at kcogan@independence.k12.oh.us: 'Pull Item G3, the MBR & Associates contract, from the Consent Agenda for a full discussion. What are the specific policies for parental notification and consent before a student receives services from these therapists?'
💰 Taxpayer Impact: $79,114 (Potential for therapy without parental consent)

⚠️ NEEDS REVIEW (LEVEL 4)
|
|
Vague Administrative Handbook Changes Hidden on Consent Agenda
|
📅 Vote Scheduled June 30, 2026
|
The board is voting to approve a revised handbook for all administrators. These documents can contain new policies on student discipline, data privacy, or gender identity that bypass public review. The title gives no details on what has changed, requiring parents to manually search the attached file for hidden changes.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: Review the 'Admin Benefits Manual 6-25-26.pdf' file in the official agenda. Call Board President Tony Avila at the district office (216) 642-5854 and ask for a public summary of all substantive policy changes in this handbook before the vote.
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Undisclosed Policy Changes
