🚨 We keep seeing the same pattern: public school entanglement with LifeWise Academy.
These are two separate examples from two separate districts.
In Metcalfe County Schools in Kentucky, the March 2026 board minutes list “Micah Fields – LifeWise” alongside district and school reports. This LifeWise update includes enrollment numbers, middle school expansion planning, LifeWise team attendance at “Night of Vision,” and a local LifeWise “Evening of Impact” event.
That is not just a neutral note that students are being excused for released time. That is a private religious program being reported alongside public school operations.
In Ridgemont Local Schools in Ohio, a district staff directory screenshot shows a LifeWise Academy person listed inside the district’s staff directory.
Again: LifeWise is not district staff.
LifeWise is not a school department.
LifeWise is not public education.
LifeWise is a private religious instruction program that removes public school students from class during the school day.
🚨This is the blurred line we keep warning about.
When LifeWise appears in staff directories…
When LifeWise representatives give reports alongside school officials…
When districts report LifeWise enrollment numbers and expansion plans…
When school platforms make LifeWise look like part of the school system…
Parents have every right to ask:
Where does the public school end and the private religious program begin?
Released Time Religious Instruction was only tolerated by the Supreme Court under narrow conditions: off school property, privately funded, with parent permission, and without public school promotion or administration of religious instruction.
Public schools are supposed to remain neutral.
They are not supposed to become marketing channels, credibility pipelines, or administrative support systems for private religious programs.
This is not neutrality.
This is entanglement.
Public schools belong to the public – NOT LifeWise Academy, not any church, and not any private religious program.

Look under “Superintendent and Director Reports.” LifeWise is listed alongside district reports, with enrollment numbers, expansion planning, and LifeWise promotional events.
Check your own board minutes, staff directories, superintendent reports, newsletters, and district websites. This kind of entanglement is showing up everywhere.
- Facebook User: Intentional theology.
- Facebook User: Bc they are implementing project 2025 and part of it is taking over public schools. They need to indoctrinate the youth while they are malleable. These people are constantly being caught lately with cp and doing child sex crimes. They are not checked the same way staff are checked. It should be a crime to allow them into public spaces!
- Facebook User: This is GREAT news! Glad our local school board is all in on this.
