District Proposes Partnership with Akron Children’s Hospital
The board is voting on an agreement with Children’s Hospital Medical Center of Akron. These partnerships can open the door to school-based health services, including mental health counseling, being provided to students without direct parental consent or presence.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: This is a high priority. Open the file for Item K.7 in the Official Agenda (linked above). Call Board President Michael Callahan at (216) 529-4000 and ask: ‘Does the agreement in Item K.7 allow for any medical or mental health services to be provided to a minor student without a parent being present and providing explicit, written consent for that specific service?’
💰 Impact: Student Medical Privacy

Vague ‘Instructional Materials’ Adoption
The board is voting to adopt new ‘Instructional Materials’ without specifying what they are in the agenda. This could be anything from new textbooks to supplemental ideological curriculum, and parents have a right to know what is being put in front of their children.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: Open the file for Item K.5 attached in the Official Agenda (linked above) to see what curriculum is being adopted. Call the Board at (216) 529-4000 and demand they postpone this vote until parents have had 30 days to review the materials.
💰 Impact: Undisclosed Curriculum

Adoption of State ‘Model Policies’ for Special Education
The board plans to adopt ‘Special Education Model Policies and Procedures.’ These often come from state-level associations and can contain embedded loopholes that undermine parental rights, particularly concerning gender identity, pronouns, and discipline.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: Open the file for Item L.1 in the Official Agenda (linked above). Search the document for terms like ‘gender,’ ‘pronoun,’ ‘restorative,’ and ‘least restrictive environment’ to see if ideological concepts are being codified into district policy.
💰 Impact: Eroding Parental Rights

| NEEDS REVIEW (LEVEL 7) |

New Three-Year EdTech Contract Proposed
The district is approving a three-year deal with Edmentum, an online learning software company. The Board must provide evidence that this program improves academic outcomes and disclose how much daily screen time it will add for students, replacing direct instruction from teachers.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: Call the Board at (216) 529-4000 and ask: ‘Regarding Item K.4, please provide the independent, non-vendor-funded evidence that Edmentum improves academic scores and state how much daily screen time this adds before voting on this three-year contract.’
💰 Impact: Increased Screen Time
