| HIGH CONCERN (LEVEL 10) |
|
District to Hire ‘Social Justice in Action’ Group
The board is considering a service agreement with the ‘Institute of Research for Social Justice in Action (IRSJA)’ to provide ‘mentoring, programming, and services’ to high school students. This brings a blatantly political, activist organization into direct contact with students, replacing education with a radical social agenda.
Recommended Action Plan
PACK THE ROOM: This is a critical threat. We need moms at the meeting to speak against this. Email the board (contact info in official agenda): ‘Vote NO on Item 11.2. We will not allow our schools to partner with political activist groups like the Institute for Social Justice in Action. Focus on academics, not activism.’
💰 Impact: Activist Mentors for Your Child

| HIGH CONCERN (LEVEL 8) |

Board Claims Parents Have No Right to Speak
The agenda explicitly states that the public has ‘no right… to speak and/or to be heard’ at board meetings, framing public comment as a privilege, not a right under Ohio’s Sunshine Law. This chilling language sets the stage for the board to limit or ignore parent voices on critical issues.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND YOUR RIGHTS: Call Board President Cassandra Jones at (216) 691-2048 before the meeting. ‘Item 2.3 is an unacceptable interpretation of the law. Parents are not passive observers; we are stakeholders, and we have a right to be heard. We expect you to publicly affirm our right to speak at the start of the meeting.’
💰 Impact: Your Voice Silenced

District Piloting New ‘Exact Path’ Screen-Time Software
The board is approving a ‘pilot’ of the Edmentum ‘Exact Path’ software for the high school. The district has not provided any independent evidence that this program improves academic outcomes, nor has it disclosed how much daily screen time it will add for students.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND PROOF: Email Superintendent Dominick Kaple: ‘Before voting on Item 10.9, the Board must publish independent, non-vendor-funded evidence that Exact Path improves academic outcomes and disclose the amount of daily screen time it will replace direct instruction with. Do not approve unproven software.’
💰 Impact: More Unproven Screen Time

More Math Screen Time with ‘Zearn’ Software
The board is approving ‘Zearn Math’ for the upper elementary school, adding another layer of screen-based instruction. The district has not presented evidence of academic gains from this software or stated how it will impact teacher-led instruction time.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND PROOF: Email Superintendent Dominick Kaple: ‘Regarding Item 10.10, what is the evidence that Zearn Math is more effective than a teacher? Please provide the data on academic gains and the total daily screen time this adds before the Board votes.’
💰 Impact: Replacing Teachers with Screens

Vague Contract for ‘School-Based Programming’
The board is approving a contract with Kathryn Tomaro Consulting, LLC to provide ‘school-based programming, services, and support’ for students. This vague language could open the door to mental health services or other interventions delivered to children at school without full parental knowledge or consent.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: Open the file for Item 11.1 in the Official Agenda (linked above) to determine the exact services being provided. Email the board: ‘Parents must be able to review the full scope of any school-based services provided to our children. What exactly is Kathryn Tomaro Consulting being hired to do?’
💰 Impact: Services Without Your Consent

| NEEDS REVIEW (LEVEL 6) |
|
Vague Contract with ‘Rewire, LLC’
The board is voting on a contract with an outside vendor called ‘Rewire, LLC,’ but has not provided the contract or any details about the services to be provided. This lack of transparency could hide spending on controversial SEL, DEI, or other ideological training for students or staff.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: Open the file for Item 10.5 in the Official Agenda (linked above) to confirm what services Rewire, LLC provides. Email the board: ‘What is the purpose of the Rewire, LLC contract and how does it benefit students academically?’
💰 Impact: Undisclosed

Undisclosed Changes to Special Education Policies
The board is approving updated ‘Special Education Model Policies and Procedures’ based on state changes from 2024. The agenda does not specify what these changes are, potentially altering parental rights or student services without public review.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: Open the file for Item 12.5 in the Official Agenda (linked above) to see the proposed policy changes. Parents of children with IEPs need to know exactly what is changing before this vote happens.
💰 Impact: Your Child’s IEP Rights
|
| MONITOR (LEVEL 5) |
|
Ideological ‘Global Citizenship’ and GSA Clubs Approved
The board is approving supplemental contracts for a ‘Global Citizenship Club’ and a ‘Gay/Straight Alliance.’ ‘Global Citizenship’ is a common euphemism for anti-American, progressive social agendas, while GSA clubs can introduce sensitive gender and sexuality topics without parental oversight.
Recommended Action Plan
ASK THE BOARD: Email Superintendent Dominick Kaple: ‘Regarding the clubs in Item 8.1, what is the curriculum for the Global Citizenship Club, and what is the district’s policy on parental notification for sensitive topics discussed in the Gay/Straight Alliance? Parents must be informed.’
💰 Impact: Activist Clubs in School
