District Spends $17,132 on Naviance Student Data Platform
The district’s financial report shows a payment of $17,132.85 for Naviance, a “college and career readiness” platform. This system collects extensive personal, academic, and interest-based data on students over many years to guide their future, creating a long-term digital dossier without clear parental oversight.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Email Superintendent James Lloyd at jlloyd@ofcs.net: ‘I demand Consent Item 5.A be pulled for discussion. The $17,132.85 payment for the Naviance data collection platform requires a public explanation of what student data is collected, who it’s shared with, and how parents can opt out.’

District Pays for ‘Rethink Ed’ SEL Platform
The district paid $6,216.00 to Rethink Autism Inc. for its “Rethink ED” program, a platform for Social Emotional Learning (SEL) and behavior management. These platforms often involve collecting sensitive student data and implementing non-academic, psychological interventions in the classroom.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Email Superintendent James Lloyd at jlloyd@ofcs.net: ‘Before voting on Consent Item 5.A, the Board must explain the $6,216 payment to Rethink ED. Will parents have full access to all materials and data collected on their children through this SEL platform?’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: $6,216

District Pays $10,000 to Political Communications Firm
The district’s check register reveals two payments of $5,000 each in July and August to Allerton Hill Communications, a political strategy and communications firm. It is unclear what services are being provided or if this involves taxpayer-funded lobbying for political agendas.
Recommended Action Plan
Email Treasurer Patrick Goclano at pgoclano@ofcs.net: ‘I request that the Board discuss the payments to Allerton Hill Communications before approving the full financial report in Consent Item 5.A. What specific services are being provided for $10,000?’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: $10,000

‘Student Wellness’ Funds Paid to Health Vendor
The district paid $5,076.24 to a vendor called “PSI” for “Health & Wellness” services, with over $3,000 of it coming directly from the “Student Wellness” fund. This raises questions about what specific health services are being provided to students and whether parental consent is required for all interactions.
Recommended Action Plan
Email Superintendent James Lloyd at jlloyd@ofcs.net: ‘Before approving the financials in Consent Item 5.A, please clarify the payments to PSI from the Student Wellness fund. What specific services does this vendor provide, and is parental consent required?’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Undisclosed Health Services

| ALERT (LEVEL 4) |
|
Pre-Registration Required to Speak at Meeting
The district requires parents to sign up to speak via an online form that opens only 30 minutes before the meeting and closes the moment the meeting is called to order. This process prevents parents who are motivated to speak by something said during the meeting from addressing the board, limiting public input.
Recommended Action Plan
Call Board President Phil Eckenrode at (440) 427-6040: ‘Public comment should be accessible. Requiring pre-registration on a form that closes at the start of the meeting under Item 3.A silences parents. Please allow for in-person sign-ups until the public comment period begins.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Reduced Public Access

Multiple ‘Professional Development’ Days on School Calendar
The proposed 2027-2028 academic calendar includes eight full “Staff Professional Development Days” where students do not attend school. Parents have a right to know what training teachers are receiving on these days, especially whether it involves ideological content like DEI, SEL, or anti-racism.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Email Superintendent James Lloyd at jlloyd@ofcs.net: ‘I request that Consent Item 6.C, the 2027-2028 calendar, be pulled for a separate discussion. Before approving, can the board please share the planned topics for the eight professional development days scheduled?’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Ideological Teacher Training
