🚨 WE FOUND SOMETHING WE WANT ANSWERS ABOUT.

Buried in the Ohio Civil Rights Commission’s April 2026 records is this:

Brian M Glasgow v. LifeWise Academy-Mrs. Lacey Johnson
COL71(023423)03242026

The disposition?
🚨 “NO JURISDICTION — DISMISS.”

That caught our attention. Because “no jurisdiction” is not the same thing as “no probable cause.” It does not tell us OCRC investigated the allegations and determined they were unfounded. It tells us the Commission determined it did not have jurisdiction over the matter.

Then we looked at the names. 👀

Lacey Johnson is the director of LifeWise Academy’s Huber Heights program.
And in records we have compiled for that same Huber Heights program, both Lacey Johnson and Brian Glasgow appear among its “Employees & Linked Individuals.”

So what happened??

What did Brian Glasgow allege against LifeWise Academy and Lacey Johnson?

Why was the local LifeWise director specifically named?

And perhaps most importantly:

🚨 WHY DID OCRC SAY IT DIDN’T HAVE JURISDICTION?

Because we’ve seen LifeWise fight over that exact question before….
Former LifeWise teacher Rachel Snell filed an employment-discrimination charge with OCRC.

OCRC expressly stated in Snell’s case that “all jurisdictional requirements for filing a charge have been met.”

LifeWise disagreed.

LifeWise went all the way to the Ohio Supreme Court, arguing that OCRC lacked jurisdiction over the dispute because LifeWise is a religious organization and Snell was, in LifeWise’s view, a minister.

Snell later withdrew her OCRC administrative charge to obtain a right-to-sue notice and pursue LifeWise directly. She did not withdraw her allegations or have them determined to be unfounded. Because of that withdrawal, the Ohio Supreme Court ultimately did not resolve LifeWise’s jurisdictional argument.

And now, months later, we find another OCRC matter:

Brian M Glasgow v. LifeWise Academy-Mrs. Lacey Johnson

This one ended:

🚨 NO JURISDICTION — DISMISS.

Was Glasgow an employee?

Was this an employment dispute?

Did LifeWise raise the same religious/ministerial jurisdiction argument it raised in the Snell case?

Or was OCRC’s jurisdictional dismissal based on something completely different?

We don’t know.
And we’re not going to pretend we do.

We have submitted a public-records request for the original complaint, the jurisdictional determination, the dismissal notice, and any other releasable records associated with the matter. Until we have those records, we won’t speculate about what Brian Glasgow alleged.

But considering LifeWise has already fought Ohio’s civil-rights agency over whether it can exercise jurisdiction over disputes involving its religious employees, we absolutely want to know why this case was dismissed.

We found the paper trail. Now we’re following it. 🕵️‍♀️
