Heads up! Our parent watchdogs have scanned the upcoming agenda for Pottsgrove SD. We found 4 items that need your immediate attention before the vote.
| 🚨 HIGH CONCERN (LEVEL 8) |
|
Vague $54k Contract for ‘Support System’
The board is approving a contract for over $54,000 per student with the Lincoln Center Leadership Academy. The agenda explicitly links this to implementing a ‘Multi-Tiered System of Supports (MTSS),’ a framework often used to introduce SEL and behavioral interventions without specific parental consent.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: The attachment for Item 7.2, the contract with Lincoln Center Leadership Academy, was not provided in the agenda packet. Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link): ‘I demand Item 7.2 be tabled until the full contract is made public. What specific ‘Multi-Tiered System of Supports’ will this $54,000 per student be funding?’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: $54,000+ per student

| ⚠️ NEEDS REVIEW (LEVEL 6) |
|
Federal Grant with Ideological Strings Attached
The district is using a federal ‘Aware grant’ to pay for staff training. These grants, while sounding helpful, often require the district to adopt specific mental health screening, data collection, and ‘trauma-informed’ practices that can lead to profiling students without parental knowledge.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link): ‘Regarding Item 8.3, what are the full terms and data-sharing requirements of the federal AWARE grant funding this training? Parents have a right to know if accepting this money obligates our district to new student screening or surveillance programs.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Your Child’s Privacy

| 👀 MONITOR (LEVEL 5) |
|
Vendor Given Power to Expel Special Needs Students
The district is contracting with ‘New Story School’ for special education services at a cost of $485-$635 per day. The contract gives this private company ‘sole discretion’ to terminate a student’s enrollment, potentially leaving a high-needs child with no placement based on a vendor’s judgment.
Recommended Action Plan
ASK THE BOARD: Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link): ‘Regarding Item 7.1, what is the district’s appeal process for parents if the private vendor New Story decides to expel their child? The contract gives the vendor total power; where is the protection for our students?’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Loss of Student Rights
|
| ALERT (LEVEL 4) |
|
Staff Training on Student Tracking Systems
The district is sending staff to a conference with sessions on ‘tracking resident students’ and other child accounting topics. This type of training can be a precursor to implementing invasive ‘chronic absenteeism’ policies and data dashboards that monitor students and families.
Recommended Action Plan
MONITOR: Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link): ‘Regarding Item 8.4, please confirm that any new student tracking methods learned at this conference will be presented to the board for public review and comment before implementation. Parents must have oversight on how student data is collected and used.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Student Surveillance
