Heads up! Our parent watchdogs have scanned the upcoming agenda for Cleveland Heights-University Heights City. We found 6 items that need your immediate attention before the vote.
| HIGH CONCERN (LEVEL 8) |
|
Taxpayer-Funded Activist Student Clubs
The agenda approves stipends for staff to run a “Gender Sexuality Alliance (GSA)” and a “Minority Student Achievement Network (MSAN)” club. This uses school resources and taxpayer money to promote divisive identity politics and social agendas, rather than focusing on academic achievement for all students.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND ACCOUNTABILITY: Call Board President Jodi Sourini at (216) 371-7171 and email Superintendent Elizabeth Kirby at e_kirby@chuh.org: ‘Regarding items B.5.d and C.3, school-sponsored clubs should be inclusive, not political. I oppose using taxpayer funds for activist clubs like GSA and MSAN.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Focus on Activism, Not Academics

Secret Employee Payout Agreement
The Board is approving an “Employee Separation Agreement,” but the details are completely hidden from the public, marked “In the hands of Board Members only.” This means taxpayer money is likely being used for a payout without any public transparency or justification.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Email Superintendent Elizabeth Kirby at e_kirby@chuh.org: ‘Regarding Item B.1, the public has a right to know the financial terms of any employee separation agreement funded by taxpayers. Release the financial details of this agreement before the vote.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Undisclosed Payout

District-Wide Rollout of Behavioral Monitoring Program (PBIS)
The district is paying stipends to dozens of staff across every school to implement “PBIS” (Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports). This system is often a Trojan horse for Social Emotional Learning (SEL) and creates a framework for tracking and modifying student behavior based on subjective metrics.
Recommended Action Plan
OPT-OUT ALERT: Email Superintendent Elizabeth Kirby at e_kirby@chuh.org: ‘Regarding the PBIS stipends in Item B.5.d, what specific data is collected on students under this program, who has access to it, and what is the explicit opt-out process for parents who do not consent to this behavioral monitoring?’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Student Behavioral Surveillance

| NEEDS REVIEW (LEVEL 6) |
|
Vague “Strategic Plan” Update With No Public Documents
The board is holding a discussion on “Strategic Plan Update: Goals 1 & 2,” but no documents have been provided to the public in advance. This is where ideological frameworks like “equity” and “whole child” are often embedded into district policy, and it’s happening without transparency.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: This is a discussion item, so parents should attend and listen closely. Ask the board to post all presentation materials related to Item D.1 online so the public can review the details of the Strategic Plan.
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Hidden Policy Frameworks

$6,300 for Undisclosed “Professional Training”
The board is approving a $6,300 payment to a vendor named “Everway LLC” for “Onsite Professional Training.” “Professional training” is a common way districts introduce controversial DEI, SEL, or “anti-racism” training to staff without parental oversight.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Email Superintendent Elizabeth Kirby at e_kirby@chuh.org: ‘Pull Consent Item C.4 for a separate vote. Who is Everway LLC, and what is the specific content of the ‘Onsite Professional Training’ they provided? Parents deserve to see the training materials before they are paid for with our tax dollars.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: $6,300

| MONITOR (LEVEL 5) |
|
Approval of Federal Grants With Ideological Strings
The board is appropriating millions in federal grant money, including Title I, II, III, IV, and IDEA funds. These federal programs often require the district to adopt specific curricula, share student data, and implement programs that align with a federal agenda, not local priorities.
Recommended Action Plan
ASK THE QUESTION: Call Treasurer Angele Latham at (216) 320-2078 and email Superintendent Elizabeth Kirby at e_kirby@chuh.org: ‘Regarding the federal funds in Item C.2, what specific curriculum, data sharing, or DEI/SEL programming is mandated by the federal government as a condition of accepting this money?’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Federal Strings Attached
