• Mrs. Dorsch was not able to be present for the meeting.

• Mr. Schneider motioned from the floor, Mr. Fujii seconded that the Board resolve to ban the incorporation into our curriculum any topic or content designed to indoctrinate, influence, or adjust the values of any student in our district related to the following theories and ideologies:
  • Critical Race Theory
  • White Supremacism, White Nationalism, or any derivative of such thinking of one race as a superior race
  • Anti-Semitism
  • Any other promotion of hate based on Religion
  • Democratic Party
  • Republican Party
  • Libertarian Party
  • Green Party
  • Any political party registered with the state of Ohio
  • Conservative Ideology
  • Liberal Ideology
  • Any other recognized and identified political ideology of any kind
  • Any group or theory promoting the notion that any one person is any less valuable of a person based on their skin color, gender, sexual preferences, or any other characteristic that is irrelevant to their status as a human being
  • Organizations established and that are actively seeking to reinforce or change people’s perspectives on moral issues in our country.

            Any discussion of religion that is not consistent with the Bill of Rights in the U.S. Constitution or Article I of the Ohio State Constitution.             We acknowledge that discussion of some of these topics related to race, religion, politics, gender, and moral issues are woven              into the fabric of our history as a community and a nation and therefore can be discussed in the context of our learning standards             where relevant to the standard at hand and age-appropriately. We acknowledge that these issues can be discussed without the             projection of endorsement in any way by our trained, professional staff members. Further, we authorize the administration and its staff             members to support any member of our student community with the appropriate support as they deem necessary to help any of our             students who have been subject to hate in any form any one of these groups or something similar. Whether or not that hate occurs             within our district,  we acknowledge that hate and its associated mental health challenges must be addressed to help all our students             reach their  maximum potential. We also authorize and empower our administration to continue to monitor and manage the             performance of our dedicated teachers and staff with whom we have come to rely upon and appreciate as they professionally refrain             from projecting their personal views into either their teachings or into the curriculum standards as set forth by this district and the state.
