Contract for “Social Emotional/Behavioral” Services
The board is approving a contract with the “Positive Education Program (PEP)” to provide services for students with “intense social emotional/behavioral needs.” This outsources sensitive behavioral and emotional interventions to an external provider, potentially reducing direct parental oversight and transparency.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Email Superintendent Scot Prebles at scot.prebles@bayschoolsohio.org: ‘Regarding Item 9.1, I demand this contract be pulled for a separate vote. What specific curriculum does the Positive Education Program use, and what are the parental notification and consent policies before a child receives these ‘social emotional’ services?’

The board is approving a $276,033.60 contract with PSI Associates to provide staff to a private school, including a school psychologist. The contract details include “individual/small group counseling for students to address social, emotional, behavioral and academic concerns,” using public auxiliary funds for services that fall outside of core academics.
Recommended Action Plan
PULL FOR DISCUSSION: Call Board President Andrey Stojic at (440) 617-7312 and email Superintendent Scot Prebles at scot.prebles@bayschoolsohio.org: ‘Regarding Item 9.2, please pull the $276k PSI contract for a separate discussion. Parents deserve to know the details of the ‘social, emotional, behavioral’ counseling being funded with public auxiliary dollars.’

District Planning “MTSS” Behavior Intervention System
Minutes from the Superintendent’s Curriculum Committee reveal that “MTSS PD is on the horizon.” Multi-Tiered System of Supports (MTSS) is often a framework for implementing school-wide behavioral and social-emotional interventions on children, sometimes without specific parental consent for each tier of action.
Recommended Action Plan
ASK QUESTIONS NOW: Email Superintendent Scot Prebles at scot.prebles@bayschoolsohio.org: ‘Regarding the August 11 Curriculum Committee minutes, what specific MTSS program is the district considering? Please provide the training materials and details on how parental consent will be obtained before any student is placed in a Tier 2 or Tier 3 intervention.’

Vague Title — Manual Review Required
The board is set to approve the July and August financial reports, but the actual documents were not included in the agenda packet provided for analysis. These reports contain the district’s full check register and can reveal payments to ideological vendors or consultants not otherwise mentioned.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: The financial statements for July and August (Item 11.6) are attached to the official agenda. Open these files and search for payments to vendors like Panorama, CASEL, or any unfamiliar ‘consulting’ or ‘training’ groups.
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Undisclosed Spending
