Federal Grant Money Tied to District Staffing
The district’s financial report confirms using millions in federal ESSER II and III funds to pay for staff salaries. These federal grants often come with strings attached, potentially forcing the district to adopt specific data-sharing practices or ideological programs dictated by the federal government, not local parents.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Contact Treasurer Angele Latham (Phone: (216) 320-2078) and Superintendent Elizabeth Kirby ( e_kirby@chuh.org): ‘Regarding the use of ESSER funds mentioned in the June 2026 financial report, what specific policy conditions or curriculum mandates were required by the federal government in exchange for this money?’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Federal Strings Attached

New “Crisis & Safety” Staff Hired on Consent Agenda
The district is hiring two “Instructional Specialists for Crisis & Safety” at a combined cost of over $169,000. These vaguely-titled positions could be used to implement Social Emotional Learning (SEL), behavioral interventions, or “restorative practices” without direct academic purpose or parental oversight.
Recommended Action Plan
ASK QUESTIONS: Email Superintendent Elizabeth Kirby at e_kirby@chuh.org: ‘What are the specific duties and curriculum frameworks for the new “Instructional Specialist – Crisis & Safety” positions under item F.3? Will they be implementing SEL or Restorative Justice programs, and if so, which ones?’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: $169,274 / year

“Global Ambassadors” Trip to Argentina
The board is approving an international field trip for “Options Global Ambassadors.” This title often signals a “Global Citizenship” curriculum, which can prioritize political and social agendas over core academics and American civics.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: The file for item G.2, ‘2026.09.01 Options Global Ambassadors Field Trip…’ was referenced but its text is not available. Open the file attached in the Official Agenda (linked above) to confirm the curriculum, cost, and purpose of this trip.
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Undisclosed Student Cost

Multiple Agenda Items Lack Public Documents
Key documents for the consent agenda, including past meeting minutes (E.1), an athletic field trip (G.1), and a list of donations (H.1), were referenced in the agenda but their text was not available for review. Important details could be hidden in these un-extracted files.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: Open the files attached in the Official Agenda (linked above) for items E.1, G.1, and H.1 to confirm they do not contain sensitive policy changes being passed without scrutiny.
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Reduced Transparency
