Local Action Alert

📅 Monday, October 26, 2026 to Calendar

Heads up! We have scanned the upcoming agenda for Solon City. We found 2 items that need your immediate attention before the vote.

NEEDS REVIEW (LEVEL 7)

Board Policy Limits Public Comment to 30 Minutes Total

📅 October 26, 2026

The board’s policy limits the entire public comment period for all speakers combined to just 30 minutes per meeting. This rule can be used to shut down parent feedback when more than a handful of people wish to speak on an important issue.

Recommended Action Plan

Call the Board office at (440) 349-6204 and email Superintendent Fred Bolden at fredbolden@solonboe.org: ‘I urge the Board to amend Policy 0169 to remove the 30-minute aggregate time limit on public comment. Parents deserve to be heard, and this arbitrary cap silences the community you serve.’

💰 Impact: Suppressed Parent Voices

ALERT (LEVEL 4)

Proposed Calendars Use Religious Holidays for Teacher Training

📅 October 26, 2026

The proposed 2027-28 and 2028-29 school calendars designate multiple religious/cultural holidays like Diwali, Lunar New Year, and Eid al-Adha as ‘Professional Days,’ giving all students the day off. This meeting is a public hearing, giving parents a chance to question the educational justification for these choices before the vote in December.

Recommended Action Plan

This is a public hearing. Email Superintendent Fred Bolden at fredbolden@solonboe.org regarding Item D.2: ‘What is the educational rationale for scheduling professional development days on specific religious holidays like Diwali and Eid? Parents deserve transparency on how the school calendar reflects academic priorities, not activism.’

💰 Impact: Ideological Calendar
