Massive ‘Student Wellness’ Funding Stream Identified
The district’s financial documents show it is receiving hundreds of thousands of dollars in ‘Student Wellness and Success Funding.’ This is an Ohio state grant program frequently used to fund Social Emotional Learning (SEL) programs and school-based mental health services that can operate outside of direct parental oversight.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Call the District Office at (330) 477-8121 and ask Treasurer Timothy Pittman for a full public accounting of every program, vendor, and staff position paid for with ‘Student Wellness and Success Funding.’ Parents have a right to know where this money is going.
💰 Impact: $491,370 (State Strings Attached)

Vague ‘Treatment Services’ Contract Hidden in Consent Agenda
Buried in the Superintendent’s Consent Agenda under Item I.1 is a contract with ‘Impact – Sand Castle Educational Services’ for unspecified ‘Treatment Services.’ The district has not provided the contract for public review, leaving parents in the dark about what kind of ‘treatment’ will be provided to students, by whom, and whether it requires parental consent.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: Call the Board office at (330) 477-8121 and email Superintendent Nathan Stutz (contact via district website): ‘I demand Item I.1, the contract for ‘Impact – Sand Castle Educational Services,’ be pulled from the consent agenda. The full contract must be posted publicly before any vote is taken so parents can see what ‘Treatment Services’ means.’
💰 Impact: Your Child’s Privacy

Payments Confirm Use of Screen-Heavy EdTech
The district’s bill payments confirm spending of over $14,000 on IXL Learning and Lexia Learning Systems. These are digital curriculum platforms that replace direct instruction with screen time. Parents have a right to know how much time their child spends on these programs daily and to see independent proof that they improve academic outcomes, not just vendor-supplied usage data.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND EVIDENCE: Call the Board office at (330) 477-8121 and state for the public record: ‘Regarding the district’s use of IXL and Lexia, I request the Board publish the total daily screen time these programs add for a typical student, and provide the independent, non-vendor-funded studies proving their academic effectiveness before any renewals are approved.’
💰 Impact: Increased Screen Time

Suspicious Vendor ‘Wings of Change Learning’ Paid by District
A payment of $9,472 was made to a vendor called ‘Wings of Change Learning,’ as shown in the district’s disbursement report. The name strongly suggests an ideological purpose, often using euphemisms like ‘change’ to mask programs related to social justice, equity, or activism. Parents deserve to know exactly what services or materials this vendor provided.
Recommended Action Plan
ASK THE QUESTION: Call the District Office at (330) 477-8121 and ask Treasurer Timothy Pittman: ‘What specific services or curriculum did the district purchase for $9,472 from the vendor ‘Wings of Change Learning’? Please provide the invoice and contract for public review.’
💰 Impact: $9,472

District Spends on ‘Crisis Prevention’ Training
The district paid $2,499 to the Crisis Prevention Institute, a company that provides training on managing student behavior. While safety is important, these programs can be a Trojan horse for ‘restorative practices’ or other ideologies that reduce consequences for disruptive behavior, impacting classroom order and the safety of other students.
Recommended Action Plan
OPT-OUT ALERT: Contact the District Office at (330) 477-8121: ‘Regarding the $2,499 payment to the Crisis Prevention Institute, does this training include ‘Restorative Practices’ or other non-punitive discipline models? Parents need to know how the district’s discipline policies are being shaped.’
💰 Impact: $2,499
