Colleen Clark-Sutton: public-record dossier (v1, link-verified)
Compiled 2026-10-13 (ET). Coverage: Lakewood City School District Board of Education meetings from Oct 12, 2025 to Oct 12, 2026 as published on BoardDocs (agenda items with their "Motion & Voting" blocks), the district's Board of Education page, and certified 2025 election results. Only the public record is used. BoardDocs records who moved, who seconded, and each member's Yea/Nay/Abstain by name, so the vote record below is per member. No positions are inferred from votes.
How to check a claim: each BoardDocs link opens the agenda item; scroll to "Motion & Voting" to see the mover, seconder and each member's vote. Where an item link couldn't be matched, the link opens the meeting agenda instead (marked meeting link). Rules: dossiers/RULES.md.

5. Unverified / pending public source
Nothing in this section is stated as fact.
- U-1 Statements at meetings. Board meeting videos are on YouTube with auto-captions that carry no speaker labels, and the captions checked so far don't name this member right before a substantive remark, so no remarks are attributed here. Pending: approved board minutes text with speaker paraphrases, or captions that name the speaker on the spot.
- U-2 Committee and liaison assignments (for example consent-agenda report assignments) for the window. Pending: the 2026 Organizational Meeting items on BoardDocs.
- U-3 Term dates are taken from the district page; the certified Cuyahoga BOE results for the members not on the Nov 2025 ballot haven't been pulled. Pending: Nov 2023 certified results.
- U-4 Not yet pulled: campaign finance reports and the Ohio Ethics Commission financial disclosure (public-records request needed; not sent).
