📅 Tuesday, August 18, 2026 to Calendar

Heads up! Our parent watchdogs have scanned the upcoming agenda for Southmoreland SD. We found 5 items that need your immediate attention before the vote.

🚨 HIGH CONCERN (LEVEL 8)

Blank Check for New Hires and Salaries

📅 2026-08-18

The board is voting to approve a new Director of Facilities and Operations (Item F.5) and a list of other personnel (Item F.1), but the publicly provided documents have the names and salaries blacked out. This prevents parents and taxpayers from knowing who is being hired and how much they will be paid before the vote.

Recommended Action Plan

DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Email the School Board (contact info on district website): ‘I demand that items F.1 and F.5 be tabled until the names of candidates and their proposed salaries are made public. The board must not approve blank checks with taxpayer money.’

💰 Taxpayer Impact: Undisclosed Salaries

⚠️ NEEDS REVIEW (LEVEL 6)

Student ‘Behavioral Health’ Service Agreement

📅 2026-08-18

The board is voting to approve a student service agreement with ‘SPHS Behavioral Health’ (Item G.1). These agreements can open the door to school-based mental health services or clinics that operate without direct parental consent for every interaction, creating a pathway to counsel children on sensitive topics without parents’ knowledge.

Recommended Action Plan

INVESTIGATE: The agreement with SPHS Behavioral Health was not attached to the public agenda. Email the School Board (contact info on district website): ‘Regarding Item G.1, please immediately make the full contract with SPHS Behavioral Health public. We demand to know what services will be provided and what the policy is for parental notification and consent before this is approved.’

💰 Taxpayer Impact: Your Child’s Privacy

👀 MONITOR (LEVEL 5)

Student Assistance Program (SAP) in Handbooks

📅 2026-08-18

The student handbooks for the Primary and Elementary schools (Item C.1) include a ‘Student Assistance Program (SAP)’. SAP is a formal system for identifying and referring students for behavioral and mental health interventions, often based on subjective teacher observations, and can lead to interventions without full parental awareness or consent.

Recommended Action Plan

OPT-OUT ALERT: Email the School Board (contact info on district website): ‘Regarding the Student Assistance Program mentioned in the handbooks, what is the district’s specific opt-out policy for SAP referrals and interventions? Parents must have the right to refuse this process for their children.’

💰 Taxpayer Impact: Bypassing Parental Consent

ALERT (LEVEL 4)

Money Trail for Outsourced Psychological Services

📅 2026-08-18

The district’s financial reports (Item H.1) show payments to external vendors like ‘Pressley Ridge’ for ‘EMOTIONAL SUPP SVCS TUITION’ and ‘Precision Human Resource Solutions’ for ‘PSYCHOLOGIAL SERVICES’. This confirms the district is spending taxpayer money to bring in outside organizations to provide psychological services to students, which can reduce transparency and parental oversight.

Recommended Action Plan

Monitor: These vendors are already contracted. Track for any expansion of these services or requests for more funding. Parents should ask their principals what services these specific vendors provide in their child’s school.

💰 Taxpayer Impact: Outsourced Student Services

ALERT (LEVEL 3)

Vague Reports Require Manual Review

📅 2026-08-18

Under Item C.3, the agenda lists several reports including ‘Cyber Charter Expense Analysis’ and individual school ‘Building Activity Fund Information’. The files for these reports were referenced but not successfully extracted, making it impossible to review the financial details.

Recommended Action Plan

INVESTIGATE: Open the files attached under item C.3 in the Official Agenda (linked above) to confirm the district’s spending and financial status in these areas.

💰 Taxpayer Impact: Undisclosed Spending
