District May Eliminate Parental Opt-Out for Controversial Topics
The Board is overhauling its policy manual and plans to remove the ‘Academic Freedom’ policy (IB), which explicitly allows parents to have their child excused from discussions of controversial material. It is being replaced with a new, vaguely described policy (INB), and it is unclear if this critical parental right will be preserved.
Recommended Action Plan
This is a First Reading, so there’s time to act. Email Superintendent David Glasner at glasner_d@shaker.org and the Board of Education: ‘Regarding the policy overhaul in Item 4.1, I demand you confirm that the new Policy INB, ‘Teaching About Controversial Issues,’ will retain the exact parental opt-out rights currently guaranteed in Policy IB. Do not vote to remove Policy IB until you publicly guarantee our right to excuse our children from these discussions is protected.’

New Policy Could Allow Intrusive Student Surveys
The Board is introducing a new policy, ‘JOA Student Surveys.’ These policies are often used to justify ‘climate and culture’ surveys that ask students sensitive questions about their beliefs, families, and feelings, without full parental consent.
Recommended Action Plan
Email Superintendent David Glasner at glasner_d@shaker.org: ‘Regarding the new Policy JOA in Item 4.1, parents must have the right to review all survey questions in advance and provide active, written consent before their child participates. Please confirm this ‘opt-in’ right will be explicitly written into the policy before the final vote.’

District Obscures ‘Equity’ Goals with Vague Policy Language
The Board is revising its ‘Educational Equity’ policy (AEA) by removing specific definitions and details. This change gives the district ‘more flexibility,’ which is code for less accountability, making it easier to implement divisive DEI programs without parental oversight.
Recommended Action Plan
Contact the Board of Education (Phone: (216) 295-1400): ‘Regarding the changes to Policy AEA in Item 4.1, vague language is not acceptable. We demand clear, specific definitions and measurable academic outcomes for any ‘equity’ policy, not a blank check for ideological programs.’
💰 Impact: Replacing Academics with Activism
