Heads up! Our parent watchdogs have scanned the upcoming agenda for Wickliffe City. We found 7 items that need your immediate attention before the vote.
| 🚨 HIGH CONCERN (LEVEL 8) |
|
One-Week Advance Notice Required to Speak
The board’s policy requires parents to notify the Treasurer in writing one week before the meeting to be allowed to speak. This prevents parents from addressing last-minute agenda items and creates a significant barrier to public participation.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND YOUR RIGHT TO BE HEARD: Call Board President Gail Willis at (440) 943-6900. ‘Policy BDDH’s one-week notice requirement silences parents. We demand this barrier be removed to allow for timely public comment on all agenda items.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Suppressed Parental Voice

| 🚨 HIGH CONCERN (LEVEL 8) |
|
District to Partner with ‘Day Treatment Center’
The district is approving an agreement with Crossroads Health to send students to their ‘Day Treatment Program’ for mental health services. This creates a pathway for school-based mental health interventions that may operate without direct parental presence or full transparency.
Recommended Action Plan
ASK THE HARD QUESTIONS: Email Superintendent Michael Chokshi at michael.chokshi@wickliffecsd.org: ‘Regarding the Crossroads Health agreement, what is the exact process for parental notification and consent before a student is referred to this program? Will parents be present for all services rendered?’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: $75/day per student

| ⚠️ NEEDS REVIEW (LEVEL 7) |
|
Controversial Services Hidden in Bundled Vote
The board is voting on all curriculum and special services items (L1-L5) in a single motion. This bundles a new ‘Supervisor of Student Supports’ and a mental health ‘Day Treatment’ agreement with routine items, preventing individual discussion and a separate vote on each.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Email Superintendent Michael Chokshi at michael.chokshi@wickliffecsd.org: ‘I demand that items L.2, L.3, and L.5 be pulled from the bundled vote for separate discussion and a roll-call vote. Parents deserve to hear the board debate these new roles and partnerships publicly.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Reduced Board Oversight

| ⚠️ NEEDS REVIEW (LEVEL 7) |
|
New ‘Supervisor of Student Supports’ Role
The district is paying $45,000 plus benefits for a ‘Supervisor of Student Supports’ from the Educational Service Center. ‘Student Supports’ is a common euphemism for implementing Social Emotional Learning (SEL) and other non-academic, psychological programming in schools.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND A REAL JOB DESCRIPTION: Email Superintendent Michael Chokshi at michael.chokshi@wickliffecsd.org: ‘What are the specific duties of the Supervisor of Student Supports? Will this role be used to implement SEL, DEI, or other ideological curricula without a public review process?’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: $45,000 + Benefits
|
| ⚠️ NEEDS REVIEW (LEVEL 6) |
|
Federal Grant Funds Student Data Mining
The district is paying Sheridan-Buckley Consulting $4,998 to evaluate the ’21st Century Community Learning Center’ federal grant. The contract explicitly states the consultant will collect student data and develop surveys to assess ‘youth development,’ which is often a cover for SEL metrics.
Recommended Action Plan
OPT-OUT ALERT: Email Superintendent Michael Chokshi at michael.chokshi@wickliffecsd.org: ‘Regarding the Sheridan-Buckley contract, will parents be given the option to opt their children out of the ‘youth development’ surveys and data collection? Who owns the student data collected by this vendor?’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Your Child’s Data
|
| ALERT (LEVEL 4) |
|
Vague ‘Early Childhood Support’ Contract Approved
The board is approving an agreement for ‘Early Childhood Support Services’ at $94/hour. The lack of specificity is concerning, as these services can be a vehicle for introducing SEL concepts or conducting developmental screenings on very young children without full parental awareness.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND DETAILS: Email Superintendent Michael Chokshi at michael.chokshi@wickliffecsd.org: ‘Please provide a detailed list of the specific services included under the ‘Early Childhood Support Services’ addendum. What curriculum or screening tools will be used?’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: $94 per hour
|
| ALERT (LEVEL 3) |
|
Staff Paid for ‘PBIS Team’ Meeting
The agenda includes payments to staff for a ‘PBIS Team Mtg’. PBIS (Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports) is a school-wide system for behavior modification that is often linked to Social Emotional Learning (SEL) data collection and ideology.
Recommended Action Plan
Monitor: This indicates PBIS is active in the district. Watch for future agenda items seeking to expand the program or purchase related software.
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Undisclosed
