Heads up! Our parent watchdogs have scanned the upcoming agenda for Massillon City. We found 7 items that need your immediate attention before the vote.
| 🚨 HIGH CONCERN (LEVEL 10) |
|
District Pays $9,740 for “Healthy Relationships” Curriculum
The district is paying $9,740.92 to Vector Solutions for a “Healthy Relationships” curriculum, funded by a “Wellness & Success” grant. This is a classic Trojan horse for introducing sensitive Comprehensive Sex Ed or SEL topics under the guise of “wellness,” bypassing parental review.
Recommended Action Plan
PACK THE ROOM: This is how they sneak controversial curriculum past parents. Call Board President Thomas Radel at (330) 830-3900: ‘Vote NO on paying Vector Solutions. Parents must be allowed to review any curriculum dealing with “healthy relationships” BEFORE it is purchased.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: $9,740.92 (Strings Attached)

| 🚨 HIGH CONCERN (LEVEL 9) |
|
District Pays $29,250 for Social-Emotional Engineering Program
Buried in the check register, the district is paying $29,250 to “Capturing Kids’ Hearts,” a well-known Social Emotional Learning (SEL) vendor. These programs shift focus from academics to managing students’ emotions and beliefs, a role that belongs to parents.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Email Treasurer Ryker Locke at rlocke@massillonschools.org: ‘I demand to know why taxpayer money is being spent on the SEL program Capturing Kids’ Hearts instead of core academics. This vendor should have been discussed publicly, not hidden in the bills list.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: $29,250 (Ideological Training)

| 🚨 HIGH CONCERN (LEVEL 8) |
|
Board Limits Public Comment to 20 Minutes Total Per Meeting
The board’s public participation policy, po0169.1, restricts the entire public comment period to just 20 minutes, regardless of how many parents wish to speak. This severely limits parents’ ability to hold the board accountable and voice concerns on important issues.
Recommended Action Plan
PACK THE ROOM: This 20-minute limit is an attempt to silence parents. Call Board President Thomas Radel at (330) 830-3900 and demand Policy 0169.1 be revised to remove the arbitrary time limit. ‘Our children’s future is worth more than 20 minutes of your time.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Your Voice Silenced

| ⚠️ NEEDS REVIEW (LEVEL 7) |
|
District Approves $31,000 to Vague “Legacy Project”
The district is paying $31,000 from a federal Title IV grant to a vendor called “Legacy Project” for “Legacy Impact.” The name is vague and provides no information about what services are being rendered, a major transparency red flag for a large expenditure of taxpayer money.
Recommended Action Plan
VERIFY THIS VENDOR: Email Treasurer Ryker Locke at rlocke@massillonschools.org: ‘What specific services is Legacy Project providing for $31,000? Parents deserve to know exactly what this Title IV grant money is buying for our students.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: $31,000 (Federal Strings Attached)

| ⚠️ NEEDS REVIEW (LEVEL 6) |

District Installing Government-Funded “Mentor” for High Schoolers
The district is bringing in an AmeriCorps representative to serve as a “college and career advisor, mentor, or success coach” for high school students. This introduces an external, government-funded agent to guide students on life-altering decisions, potentially outside of parental view and influence.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND OVERSIGHT: Contact Superintendent Paul Salvino (see the Official Agenda link for contact info). Ask: ‘What curriculum and values will the AmeriCorps mentor be promoting to our children, and what is the policy for parental notification and consent before a student is assigned to this mentor?’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Undermining Parental Guidance

| 👀 MONITOR (LEVEL 5) |
|
District Expands On-Campus Mental Health Staff
The board is approving $26,160 to hire a School Psychologist Intern. This expands the school’s role in student mental health, which can lead to screenings, interventions, and data collection on your child without your full knowledge or consent.
Recommended Action Plan
OPT-OUT ALERT: Contact Superintendent Paul Salvino (see the Official Agenda link for contact info). Ask: ‘What is the district’s policy for obtaining active, written parental consent before any student receives psychological services or mental health screenings from school staff, including interns?’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: $26,160 (Grant Funded)
