Final Vote on Student Speech and Records Policies
The board is scheduled for a final vote on a slate of ASBA-recommended policies, including ‘JJAB – Limited Open/Closed Forum’ and ‘JR-R – Student Records.’ These policies could create exposure by restricting student religious or political speech, or by creating record-keeping systems that conceal information from parents, particularly regarding gender identity. The full text of the proposed policies is not available in the agenda packet.
Intake Action
PULL THE DOCUMENT: Item 6.C is a final vote on policy updates. Immediately retrieve the referenced policy packet (july26.pa1047-1064 (1).pdf, etc.) from the district’s agenda portal to analyze the language of Policy JJAB (‘Limited Open/Closed Forum’) and Regulation JR-R (‘Student Records’) before the October 5 vote.

The full text of the proposed policy is not available in the agenda packet.
Intake Action

| MONITOR (LEVEL 4) |

Approval of District and Superintendent Goals
The board will approve the District/Superintendent Goals for 2026-2027, which also form the basis for the superintendent’s performance pay. These goals could introduce initiatives related to equity or climate that later manifest as legally problematic trainings or curriculum mandates. The text of the goals is not available in the agenda packet.
Intake Action
PULL THE DOCUMENT: For Item 6.B, retrieve the referenced ’26_27 Goals – Superintendent.pdf’ to assess whether the goals create a framework for future policies that could compel speech or adopt contested ideologies. Monitor for subsequent implementation items.
