Heads up! Our parent watchdogs have scanned the upcoming agenda for Bay Village City. We found 6 items that need your immediate attention before the vote.
🚨 HIGH CONCERN (LEVEL 10)
District-Wide Student Surveillance System Proposed
📅 September 8, 2026
The district is rolling out a “Multi-Tiered System of Support” (MTSS) to monitor and intervene in every student’s academic, behavioral, and social-emotional life. This system uses universal screeners (like DESSA and climate surveys) and data dashboards to label children and assign interventions, creating a shadow profile on your child without full parental consent.
Recommended Action Plan

PACK THE ROOM: This is not about helping struggling kids; it’s about building a surveillance system for all kids. Email Superintendent Scot Prebles at scot.prebles@bayschoolsohio.org: ‘Parents, not the school, are the primary caregivers for a child’s social and emotional well-being. Vote NO on the MTSS Action Plan under Item 3.D.’

💰 Taxpayer Impact: Your Child’s Privacy
🚨 HIGH CONCERN (LEVEL 8)
“Wellness” Funds Used for School Mental Health Services
📅 September 8, 2026
The district plans to spend over $99,000 in “Student Wellness and Success Funds” to partner with MetroHealth for student mental health services. This creates a pathway for school-based clinics to provide “Tier 3 acute support,” potentially delivering services without direct parental presence or oversight.
Recommended Action Plan

DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Email Superintendent Scot Prebles at scot.prebles@bayschoolsohio.org: ‘Regarding Item 3.G, what specific services will MetroHealth provide on campus, and what is the exact parental consent process before a child receives any mental health evaluation or service? We will not accept passive consent.’

💰 Taxpayer Impact: $99,941 (State/Federal Strings Attached)
⚠️ NEEDS REVIEW (LEVEL 7)
New Committee to Oversee Student “Wellness” and DESSA Screening
📅 September 8, 2026
The Superintendent’s committee schedule reveals a “Student Wellness” committee tasked with reviewing “DESSA Progress” and “tiered supports outlined through MTSS.” DESSA is a social-emotional learning (SEL) survey used to collect subjective data on your child’s personality, feelings, and beliefs.
Recommended Action Plan

OPT-OUT ALERT: Email Superintendent Scot Prebles at scot.prebles@bayschoolsohio.org: ‘I am formally requesting the opt-out form for all DESSA surveys and any other social-emotional screeners mentioned in the Student Wellness committee topics for Item 3.C. My child’s psychological data is not for sale.’

💰 Taxpayer Impact: Your Child’s Psychological Data
⚠️ NEEDS REVIEW (LEVEL 6)
Opportunity to Influence Federal Grant Spending
📅 September 21, 2026
The board announced a Public Hearing on Annual Federal Funding for September 21, 2026. This is a critical opportunity for parents to show up and demand that the district reject any federal grants that come with ideological strings attached, such as mandatory DEI/SEL programs or data-sharing requirements.
Recommended Action Plan

MARK YOUR CALENDAR: Show up to the Public Hearing on Federal Funding on September 21st at 6:00pm. We must tell the board to refuse any grant that forces a political agenda into our schools. No strings attached.

💰 Taxpayer Impact: Ideological Strings Attached
ALERT (LEVEL 4)
Vague Title — Manual Review Required
📅 September 8, 2026
Item 3.C references an attachment, “Superintendent Committee Information as of 9.4.24.xlsx – Table 1 (1).pdf,” but the text was not available for review. This file could contain more details about the scope and power of the new “Student Wellness” committee.
Recommended Action Plan

INVESTIGATE: Open the file ‘Superintendent Committee Information…’ attached to Item 3.C in the Official Agenda (linked above) to confirm the full duties of the Student Wellness committee.

💰 Taxpayer Impact: Undisclosed
ALERT (LEVEL 3)
Vague Title — Manual Review Required
📅 September 8, 2026
Item 3.D lists an action plan for a “ParentSquare K-12 Rollout,” but the attachment text was not available. While a communication tool, it’s important to verify the data privacy terms and whether it includes features that could be used for social-emotional tracking or surveys.
Recommended Action Plan

INVESTIGATE: Open the ‘ParentSquare K-12 Rollout Action Plan.pdf’ file attached to Item 3.D in the Official Agenda (linked above) to confirm the platform’s data privacy policies and features.

💰 Taxpayer Impact: Student Data Privacy
