Vague Title β Manual Review Required
The board is introducing three new policies (1231, 6100, 8470) for a first reading, but the actual text of these policies has not been included in the public agenda packet. Without the text, parents cannot know what changes are being proposed regarding staff conduct, use of funds, or sex offender notifications.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: Open the file attached in the Official Agenda (linked above) to confirm whether it contains sensitive policy changes. If the text is missing there too, email Superintendent Scott Hunt at hunts@parmacityschools.org: ‘Please immediately post the full text for the new policies 1231, 6100, and 8470 listed for a First Reading on the October 22 agenda. Parents must be able to review these proposed policies before the Board discusses them.’

District to Pay $15,000 for ‘Vaping Education’ Program
The board will vote on Resolution 2026-10-461, a $15,000 contract with Avalon Center for Student Success for a high school vaping education program, citing ‘social and emotional well-being.’ Parents need to know if this program is strictly about health risks or if it introduces broader Social Emotional Learning (SEL) concepts without their review.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: Email Superintendent Scott Hunt at hunts@parmacityschools.org: ‘Regarding Resolution 2026-10-461, please provide the full curriculum and materials from the Avalon Center for Student Success for parental review before the Board votes on this $15,000 contract. What specific ‘social and emotional’ content is included in this vaping program?’
π° Impact: $15,000 (Federal Strings Attached)

Board Proposes Policy to Ban Ideological Litmus Tests
The Board is introducing a revised policy (Policy 2265) that would prohibit the district from forcing students or staff to agree with or state commitment to any political ideology. This policy protects against compelled speech and ensures hiring and evaluation are not based on political litmus tests, while also making related training materials public.
How to Lock It In
PACK THE ROOM TO SUPPORT: This is a huge win for parental rights and free speech. Show up to thank the Board for introducing Policy 2265. Email Superintendent Scott Hunt at hunts@parmacityschools.org: ‘Thank you for proposing Policy 2265. Please ensure its swift adoption to protect our students and teachers from ideological coercion.’

Board Policy Strengthens Ban on Partisan Politics in Schools
The revised Policy 9700 strengthens rules against using school resources for partisan political purposes. It also limits how outside special interest groups can distribute materials or solicit funds, protecting students from being targeted by activists on school grounds.
How to Lock It In
SUPPORT THIS POLICY: This is a great policy that keeps the focus on education. Email Superintendent Scott Hunt at hunts@parmacityschools.org: ‘I strongly support the revisions to Policy 9700. Thank you for protecting our schools from outside political and commercial interests.’

Why It Matters: Protecting Instructional Time
