Heads up! Our parent watchdogs have scanned the upcoming agenda for Kennett Consolidated SD. We found 9 items that need your immediate attention before the vote.
| 🚨 HIGH CONCERN (LEVEL 10) |
|
Contractor Hired for In-Home ‘Substance Abuse Screening’
The board is approving a contract for up to $15,000 with Guadalupe Meza to provide ‘bilingual substance abuse screening’ and other services to students. The contract explicitly states these services can be rendered ‘in-home, in school, or within the community,’ creating a massive parental rights violation.
Recommended Action Plan
PACK THE ROOM: This is a direct threat to parental authority and family privacy. Contact the Board (see the Official Agenda link for details): ‘I demand you vote NO on the Guadalupe Meza contract in Item 5.6. The district has no right to conduct screenings or services in our homes without our direct presence and consent.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: $15,000

| 🚨 HIGH CONCERN (LEVEL 9) |
|
District to Pay Consultant for School-Wide Behavioral Interventions
The district is paying May Institute up to $20,000 for ‘consultation and coaching’ on behavioral interventions. The contract specifies this applies to ‘Tiers 1-3,’ which means it’s a school-wide system (MTSS) applied to all students, not just those in special education, potentially without parental consent.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Contact the Board (see the Official Agenda link for details): ‘Regarding Item 5.7, what specific ‘Tier 1′ behavioral interventions will May Institute implement for the general student population, and what is the opt-out process for parents who do not consent to this?’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: $20,000
|
| 🚨 HIGH CONCERN (LEVEL 8) |
|
Taxpayer-Funded Lobbying via Conference Travel
The board is granting blanket approval for travel to conferences hosted by groups like the National School Boards Association (NSBA) and Pennsylvania School Boards Association (PSBA). These organizations actively lobby against parental rights legislation, meaning your tax dollars are being used to undermine your authority.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND ACCOUNTABILITY: Contact the Board (see the Official Agenda link for details): ‘Vote NO on the blanket travel approval in Item 5.12. Taxpayer funds should not be used to support political lobbying by the NSBA and PSBA that harms parental rights.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Undisclosed Travel Costs

| 🚨 HIGH CONCERN (LEVEL 8) |

District Paying $28k for Ideological Teacher Training
Hidden in the bill list is a $28,400 payment to Solution Tree LLC for ‘Professional Development.’ Solution Tree is a major promoter of controversial frameworks like ‘Professional Learning Communities’ (PLCs) and ‘Response to Intervention’ (RTI/MTSS), which often serve as vehicles for Social Emotional Learning (SEL) and data collection.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Contact the Board (see the Official Agenda link for details): ‘Regarding the $28,400 payment to Solution Tree in the Bill List (Item 4.2), please provide the full training curriculum for public review before the meeting. Parents have a right to know what teachers are being taught.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: $28,400

| ⚠️ NEEDS REVIEW (LEVEL 7) |
|
New Handbook May Contain Hidden Survey & Data Policies
The board is voting to approve the new 2026-27 District Handbook. The table of contents lists a critical section on ‘Privacy, Surveys, Military Recruitment Information,’ but the full text of this section was not provided, preventing public review of policies on student surveys and data privacy.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: The handbook is attached to the official agenda. Open the file for Item 5.11 and immediately read the section on ‘Privacy, Surveys’ (page 10). Email the Board with any concerns before they vote: ‘Do not approve the handbook until parents have had time to review the new survey and privacy policies.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Your Child’s Privacy
|
| ⚠️ NEEDS REVIEW (LEVEL 6) |
|
Board Approving Secret Settlements with Parents
The board is approving three ‘confidential settlement agreements’ with parents. While the details are secret, this means the district likely did something wrong and is now using taxpayer money to buy silence instead of fixing the problem publicly.
Recommended Action Plan
ASK THE QUESTION: During public comment, ask: ‘While the details of Item 5.9 are confidential, can the board tell the public what policies are being reviewed or changed to prevent future situations that lead to these costly legal settlements?’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Undisclosed Settlement Costs
|
| 👀 MONITOR (LEVEL 5) |
|
Contracts for In-School Dental and Physical Exams
The board is approving contracts for outside providers to conduct dental screenings and student physicals on school grounds. These school-based health services can occur without a parent present, eroding your right to oversee your child’s medical care.
Recommended Action Plan
OPT-OUT ALERT: Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link for details): ‘Regarding the health contracts in Item 5.6, please provide the specific parental consent and opt-out forms for these in-school dental and physical exams. No child should receive a medical service at school without explicit, prior parental consent.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Up to $23,000
|
| ALERT (LEVEL 4) |
|
Vaguely Defined ‘Parent Liaison’ Contract Approved
The board is approving a three-year contract for a ‘Parent Liaison’ for up to $55,000 per year. The duties are not clearly defined, and these roles are often used to push district narratives on families or gather information on home life under the guise of ‘engagement.’
Recommended Action Plan
MONITOR: Contact the Board (see the Official Agenda link for details): ‘Regarding the Parent Liaison contract in Item 5.6, please provide a detailed job description. What specific metrics will be used to measure this contractor’s success?’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Up to $55,000/yr
|
| ALERT (LEVEL 2) |
|
Vague Reports — Manual Review Required
The agenda lists a Superintendent’s Report and Treasurer’s Reports, but the text of these documents was not included in the agenda packet. These reports could contain important updates on curriculum, spending, or new programs.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: Open the files attached in the Official Agenda (linked above) for items 3.2 and 3.4 to confirm they do not contain sensitive policy or financial changes.
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Undisclosed Information
