District Formalizes “Whole Child” Intervention System
The board is appointing “Team Leader – MTSS” at both the intermediate and elementary schools. MTSS (Multi-Tiered System of Supports) is a framework often used to implement Social Emotional Learning (SEL) and psychological interventions for all students, sometimes without specific parental consent for each tier of service.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND ANSWERS: Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link): ‘Regarding the MTSS Team Leaders in item 6.04, what specific screeners will be used on students? How will parents be notified and given the right to opt-out *before* any non-academic intervention is provided to their child under this system?’

$11,000 Contract to Review “Pupil Services”
The district is paying CCRES, an outside consultant, $11,000 to conduct a four-week review of the “pupil services department.” This department often includes school counselors and psychologists, and such reviews can be a precursor to expanding Social Emotional Learning or other mental health initiatives.
Recommended Action Plan
PUT THEM ON NOTICE: Contact the Board (contact info on district website): ‘Regarding item 6.07, parents expect the CCRES review of pupil services to be made public. Will the Board commit to releasing the full report and its recommendations to the community before any new programs are adopted?’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: $11,000

Undisclosed Settlement Agreements with Parents and Staff
The board is voting to approve two separate settlement agreements (6.13 with an employee, 6.14 with parents). The agenda provides no details on the nature of the disputes or the cost to taxpayers, and the attached agreements were not included in the provided text.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: Open the files for items 6.13 and 6.14 in the Official Agenda (linked above). If they are not confidential, we need to know the cost. If they are, parents should ask the Board during public comment for the total taxpayer cost of these settlements.
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Undisclosed Taxpayer Funds

Outside Health Provider Performing Services on Campus
The district is renewing an agreement with LCH Health and Community Services to provide physicals to student athletes on school grounds. While positioned as a service, this normalizes the presence of external health clinics on campus, which can expand in scope to offer more sensitive services without parents present.
Recommended Action Plan
MONITOR FOR SCOPE CREEP: Email the Board (contact info on district website): ‘Regarding the LCH agreement in item 6.09, please confirm that this partnership is strictly limited to PIAA physicals and that no other health or mental health services will be offered to students without explicit, written parental consent for each instance.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Parental Oversight of Health

| ALERT (LEVEL 4) |
|
“Affinity Group” Style Club on Campus
The board is approving advisors for a club called “ACTO (All Cultures Together Overcome)” under supplemental appointments. Parents should be aware of the curriculum and activities of any clubs that focus on group identity to ensure they are not promoting divisive concepts.
Recommended Action Plan
ASK FOR TRANSPARENCY: Email the Board (contact info on district website): ‘Regarding the ACTO club in item 6.04, can the administration please confirm that the club’s charter and materials are available for parental review to ensure its activities are unifying and not divisive?’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Divisive Ideology
