| 🚨 HIGH CONCERN (LEVEL 9) |
|
Secret Student Data-Sharing Agreement with the State
Under Item 6.I, the Board is voting to approve a ‘Data Sharing and Participation Agreement’ with the Ohio Department of Higher Education. The actual agreement, which details what specific student data will be shared, has not been made public. This action could authorize the transfer of your child’s private educational records to state agencies without your knowledge or consent.
Recommended Action Plan
PROTECT STUDENT PRIVACY: Email Superintendent Daniel Creps at dcreps@rossfordschools.org and call the Board office at (419) 666-2010. Demand that Item 6.I be tabled until the full data-sharing agreement is posted for public review. Ask: ‘What specific student data points will be shared under this agreement, and can parents opt their children out?’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Loss of student data privacy

Approving a Secret 3-Year Administrative Contract
The Board is voting on a three-year contract for all district administrators (Item 6.A), but the contract document itself has not been attached to the public agenda. Parents and taxpayers have no way to review the salaries, benefits, performance goals, or potential bonus structures being approved. This lack of transparency prevents any public oversight of the district’s highest-paid employees.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Email Superintendent Daniel Creps at dcreps@rossfordschools.org and call Board President Dawn Burks at (419) 666-2010. Demand the vote on Item 6.A be postponed until the full administrative contract is posted publicly for community review.
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Undisclosed multi-year salaries and benefits for all administrators.

Hidden Policies in New Preschool Handbook
Under Item 7.A, the Board is reviewing the new Preschool Handbook for the upcoming school year. The handbook has not been provided to the public. Preschool is often where policies on gender identity, social-emotional learning, and controversial discipline practices are first introduced. Approving this document without public review allows the district to implement radical policies affecting our most vulnerable students in secret.
Recommended Action Plan
UNCOVER THE POLICIES: Email Superintendent Daniel Creps at dcreps@rossfordschools.org and call Board President Dawn Burks at (419) 666-2010. ‘The 2026-2027 Preschool Handbook mentioned in Item 7.A must be made public immediately. We will not allow policies affecting our youngest children to be passed without parental review.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Entrenching ideological policies at the earliest grade levels.

| ⚠️ NEEDS REVIEW (LEVEL 7) |

New ‘Behavior Coordinator’ Position Signals SEL Push
The district is creating a new ‘PBIS Coordinator’ position under Item 6.E. PBIS (Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports) is a school-wide system for behavior modification and data collection that is often a vehicle for implementing Social Emotional Learning (SEL) and ‘Restorative Practices.’ This shifts the school’s focus from academics to psychological programming and student behavior monitoring.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND ANSWERS: Email Superintendent Daniel Creps at dcreps@rossfordschools.org: ‘Regarding Item 6.E, what are the specific duties of the PBIS Coordinator? Will this role involve implementing SEL or collecting non-academic student data? Parents must be able to opt their children out of all PBIS-related surveys and interventions.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Salary for a new supplemental contract.

Undisclosed ‘Partnership’ with University of Toledo
The Board is set to approve a ‘Memorandum of Understanding’ with the University of Toledo (Item 6.J), but the document detailing the terms of this partnership is not public. This could open the door to university-led curriculum changes, student surveys, or ‘social justice’ research projects in our schools without any parental review or consent.
Recommended Action Plan
ASK QUESTIONS: Email Superintendent Daniel Creps at dcreps@rossfordschools.org: ‘Please provide the full Memorandum of Understanding for Item 6.J for public review. What will the University of Toledo’s role be in our classrooms and what oversight will parents have?’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Potential for ideological influence on curriculum and policy.
