RESOLUTION of the

Alliance City Schools Board Of Education

September 15, 2015 WHEREAS , public schools have been the hallmark of the American education system and the

foundation of the nation’s democracy;; and WHEREAS , Ohio’s schools have traditionally been governed by an elected board of education, the

members of which have been chosen by their fellow community members to make sound decisions concerning the education of the community’s children and to determine the most effective use of local tax dollars in pursuit of that goal;; and

WHEREAS , the 2010 appointment of an academic distress commission in the Youngstown City

Schools and the recent restructuring of that commission to function under a CEO appointed by individuals who may reside outside the Youngstown community — as opposed to being named by those who best know that community — has set aside the ability of the elected board of education to exercise its governing authority;; and

WHEREAS , those restructuring changes were contained in a last-minute amendment to House Bill 70,

which the Ohio General Assembly passed without any serious input from the Youngstown City Board of Education or the Youngstown community;; and

WHEREAS, the adoption of this amendment was completed by Columbus-based legislators with little

or no connection to the Youngstown community and without any genuine effort to engage those most affected by the action;; and

WHEREAS , this legislation lays the groundwork for the same restructuring changes to take place in

other districts across the state THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED , that we, the Board of Education of the Alliance City School District

do object and protest the manner in which this draconian legislation was passed and question how the district reforms and improvements can be achieved without involving and engaging the elected board of education and the Youngstown community;; and

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that we ask the state superintendent of public instruction, as the

manager of the academic distress commission process, to take appropriate steps to engage the


elected board of education and community in the school improvement process prior to appointment of the new CEO;; and

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED , that we implore members of the Ohio General Assembly, the State

Board of Education, and Governor John R. Kasich to seek amendments to House Bill 70 and the academic distress commission procedures that will preserve and enhance democracy and local control;; and

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED , that such amendments should embrace the original intent of House Bill

70: fostering community engagement and collaboration to create community learning centers that will better serve Youngstown’s children and families;; and
