New Policy Allows AI Surveillance of Student Communications
The Board is voting to approve a new policy, 7540.10, for ‘Recording and AI Processing of Communications on School Property.’ This creates a system of digital surveillance over students and staff, and it is unclear what data will be collected, how it will be used, and who will have access to it.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND A DELAY: Call the Board at (440) 871-7300 and email Superintendent Scott Goggin at goggin@wlake.org: ‘Postpone the vote on Policy 7540.10 in Item 9.C. Parents have a right to know how their children’s communications will be recorded and processed by AI before you approve this surveillance policy.’
💰 Impact: Your Child’s Privacy

Vague Title — Manual Review Required for ‘Political Ideology’ Policy
The Board is holding a final vote on revised Policy 2265, ‘Protections of Individual Beliefs, Affiliations, Ideals, or Principles of Political Movements and Ideology.’ The text is not provided, so it’s unclear if this policy protects students from indoctrination or forces staff to affirm specific ideologies.
Recommended Action Plan
URGENT: This is a final vote. Open the file for Policy 2265 under Item 9.C in the Official Agenda (linked above) immediately. Contact the Board at (440) 871-7300 and demand they postpone the vote until parents can review the text.
💰 Impact: Classroom Indoctrination

Board Spending $15,859 on Student Career Tracking Software
The district is spending $15,859.30 on ‘Schoolinks,’ an online college and career readiness platform. This is another student-facing software adding to screen time, but the district has not provided evidence of its academic effectiveness or what direct instruction it replaces.
Recommended Action Plan
Email Superintendent Scott Goggin at goggin@wlake.org: ‘Before voting on the $15,859 Schoolinks contract in Item 5.A, please provide the public with independent evidence of its academic effectiveness and state how many minutes of daily screen time this adds for students.’
💰 Impact: $15,859.30

District Eliminating Policy on Recording Meetings with Parents
Under Item 9.C, the Board is voting to ‘Rescind – Policy 2461 Recording of District Meetings Involving Students and or Parents.’ Removing a policy that governs recordings reduces transparency and could make it harder for parents to keep an accurate record of important meetings, such as those for an IEP.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND ANSWERS: Call the Board at (440) 871-7300 and ask: ‘Why are you rescinding Policy 2461 on recording meetings involving students and parents? Vote NO on Item 9.C until you provide a public justification for reducing this transparency measure.’
💰 Impact: Reduced Transparency

| NEEDS REVIEW (LEVEL 6) |
|
Vague Title — Manual Review Required for Student Records Policy
The Board is voting on revised Policy 8330 regarding ‘Student Records.’ Changes to this policy could affect what information is collected on your child, who it’s shared with, and your right to access it.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: Open the file for Policy 8330 under Item 9.C in the Official Agenda (linked above). Check for any changes that weaken parental consent for data sharing or limit your access to your child’s records.
💰 Impact: Your Child’s Data

| MONITOR (LEVEL 5) |
|
District Renews Student ‘Behavioral Intervention’ Software
The board is paying Navigate360, LLC $3,675 for ‘Behavioral Intervention for Students.’ This type of software often includes Social Emotional Learning (SEL) components and student monitoring that can operate outside of direct parental oversight.
Recommended Action Plan
Email Superintendent Scott Goggin at goggin@wlake.org and call the Board at (440) 871-7300: ‘Regarding Item 5.A, what specific ‘behavioral interventions’ does the Navigate360 software perform on students, and how are parents notified and given consent before their child is subjected to this program?’
💰 Impact: $3,675.00

| MONITOR (LEVEL 5) |
|
Vague Title — Manual Review Required for Federal Grant Policies
The board is introducing a first reading of several revised policies related to federal grant funds (6110, 6112, 6114, 6325). Federal grants often come with ideological strings attached, and these policy changes could reduce transparency or parental oversight over how that money is spent.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: Open the files for Item 9.A in the Official Agenda (linked above) to see if these revised policies on federal grants weaken parental oversight or commit the district to new ideological mandates.
💰 Impact: Federal Strings Attached
