Public Comment Time Capped at 30 Minutes
The board’s policy limits the entire public comment period to just 30 minutes total, with a 3-minute limit per speaker. While this can be extended by a majority vote, the default is a very short window for parents to voice concerns. This policy can be used to shut down parent feedback on controversial topics before everyone who signed up gets to speak.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TO BE HEARD: Call Board President Sue Groszek at (440) 995-6800 and ask that the Board commit to extending the 30-minute public comment period at any meeting where more than 10 parents have signed up to speak. ‘Our voices will not be silenced by a clock. We demand the time we need to address our elected officials.’
💰 Impact: Limited Parental Voice

$127,000 Budgeted for “Student Wellness”
The district’s financial report under Item 9.A shows a $127,000 budget for “Student Wellness.” While this sounds positive, this funding category is often used as a backdoor to bring in SEL programs or mental health services that operate without direct parental oversight. Parents have a right to know exactly what this money is buying.
Recommended Action Plan
OPT-OUT ALERT: Email Superintendent Michael Barnes at mbarnes@mayfieldschools.org: ‘Regarding the “Student Wellness” fund in the financial statements (Item 9.A), please provide a detailed breakdown of all programs, vendors, and services this $127,000 is funding. Parents have a right to know what “wellness” means for our children.’
💰 Impact: $127,000

Vague Title — Manual Review Required
Under Item 9.D, the board is approving a contract with ‘MEG Inc.’ to provide unspecified ‘personnel services’ to St. Francis of Assisi, a private school, using public Auxiliary Services Funds. The agenda does not state the cost or nature of these services, and the attached document was not provided in the text.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: Open the file ‘ATT.#9’ attached to Item 9.D in the Official Agenda (linked above) to confirm the cost and nature of the ‘personnel services’ being provided to a private school with public funds.
💰 Impact: Undisclosed
