📅 Thursday, August 13, 2026 to Calendar

Heads up! Our parent watchdogs have scanned the upcoming agenda for Marlington Local. We found 3 items that need your immediate attention before the vote.

🚨 HIGH CONCERN (LEVEL 8)

Hidden Policies in 14-Page Document Need Review

📅 2026-08-13

The board is voting to approve a 14-page Records Retention Schedule, but the provided text only includes the first 3 pages. The most critical sections detailing how student health, discipline, counseling, and ‘Gender Support Plan’ records are stored, shared, or destroyed are on the missing pages and must be reviewed before the vote.

Recommended Action Plan

INVESTIGATE: The full 14-page ‘Draft Records Retention Schedule’ must be reviewed. Open the file attached to Item B.1 in the Official Agenda (linked above) and search for policies on student health, discipline, counseling, and gender identity records. Email Superintendent Daniel Swisher at d_swisher@marlingtonlocal.org: ‘The community needs time to review the full 14-page records policy. Please table the vote on Item B.2 until the next public meeting.’

⚠️ NEEDS REVIEW (LEVEL 6)

Policy Allows Quick Destruction of Teacher Lesson Plans

📅 2026-08-13

The proposed Records Retention Schedule (Item B.2) allows for the destruction of teacher lesson plans at the end of the current school year. This makes it nearly impossible for parents to retroactively review what was taught in their child’s classroom if a concern arises later.

Recommended Action Plan

DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Email Superintendent Daniel Swisher at d_swisher@marlingtonlocal.org: ‘Regarding the Records Retention Schedule, I am concerned that destroying teacher lesson plans after one year prevents parental oversight. Please extend the retention for lesson plans to at least three years to ensure accountability.’

💰 Taxpayer Impact: Limited Parent Oversight

👀 MONITOR (LEVEL 5)

Federal Grant Programs Require Student Data Collection

📅 2026-08-13

The new records policy (Item B.2) codifies the data collection required by federal and state grant programs. This includes student names, eligibility lists, and test scores, which are often tied to ideological program mandates from the federal government.

Recommended Action Plan

ASK QUESTIONS: Email Superintendent Daniel Swisher at d_swisher@marlingtonlocal.org: ‘Regarding Item 113 in the new records schedule, which specific federal and state grant programs are currently active in the district, and what specific student data is being shared with outside entities as a condition of this funding?’
