District to Pay $230,540 for School Clinics with Hidden ‘Human Growth’ Program
The Board is set to approve a $230,540 contract with a private company, PSI, to run school health clinics. Buried in the contract is a ‘Human Growth & Development Program,’ a common euphemism for sex education, which could be taught without direct parental oversight or curriculum review.
Recommended Action Plan
PACK THE ROOM: This is a massive contract hiding a potential sex ed program. Email Superintendent Jennifer Penczarski at jennifer.penczarski@chagrinschools.org and demand Item 6.15 be pulled from the Consent Agenda for a full discussion. Ask the board: ‘What curriculum will be used for the Human Growth & Development program, and will parents have full opt-in rights after reviewing all materials?’
π° Impact: $230,540 (Potential Sex Ed)

New ‘Digital Literacy’ Software Adds to Student Screen Time
The district is approving a contract for ‘Everway,’ a new ‘digital literacy support software’ for students. The Board has not provided any independent evidence that this program improves academic outcomes, nor has it disclosed how much daily screen time this will add for our children.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Email Superintendent Jennifer Penczarski at jennifer.penczarski@chagrinschools.org before the meeting: ‘Regarding Item 7.10, before approving the Everway contract, please provide the public with independent, non-vendor-funded evidence of its academic effectiveness and a clear statement on the daily screen time it will add per student.’
π° Impact: Increased Screen Time

District Seeks Retroactive Approval for $10k in EdTech Software
The Board is retroactively approving over $10,000 for two student software subscriptions, NoRedInk and ExploreK12, after the money was already spent. This bypasses normal oversight and commits students to more screen time without prior public discussion of the software’s academic value.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND ACCOUNTABILITY: Email Treasurer Ashley Brudno at ashley.brudno@chagrinschools.org: ‘Regarding Item 8.01, why is the Board approving EdTech purchases after the fact? Before this is approved, please provide the evidence of academic gains for NoRedInk and ExploreK12 that was reviewed before the district committed these funds.’
π° Impact: $10,068.75

Vague Contract for ‘Student Support’ β Manual Review Required
The Board plans to approve a contract for ‘extracurricular student support’ with the Trumbull County ESC, but has not provided the contract for public review with the agenda. This vague title could conceal anything from academic tutoring to ideological programs like SEL or affinity groups.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: The contract for Item 6.16 is not attached to the online agenda. Open the file attached in the Official Agenda (linked above) to confirm whether it contains sensitive policy changes or ideological programming.
π° Impact: Undisclosed
