Board to Spend $26,250 on Unproven Reading Software
The board is voting to purchase ‘HMH Read 180’ digital subscriptions. The district has not provided any independent, third-party evidence that this software improves reading scores, nor has it stated how much daily screen time this will add for students.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND PROOF: Contact the School Board (see the Official Agenda link for details): ‘Before voting on Item 4.F, please publish the independent, non-vendor-funded studies proving HMH Read 180’s effectiveness and state the total daily screen time it will add for a typical student. Do not approve spending without this data.’
💰 Impact: $26,250

Staff Presenting on State’s ‘Disability Inclusive Curriculum’
The district is sending a Special Education Supervisor to a conference to present on their work with the ‘Pennsylvania Disability Inclusive Curriculum Pilot.’ This type of ‘inclusive’ curriculum can often be a vehicle for embedding political and social ideologies into lesson plans, replacing core academics.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Contact the School Board (see the Official Agenda link for details): ‘Regarding Item 4.H, please provide parents with a complete copy of all materials from the Pennsylvania Disability Inclusive Curriculum Pilot for public review before it is implemented further in our district.’
💰 Impact: Ideology in the Classroom

District Pushing ‘Global Citizen’ Ideology in Student Trips
The board is approving two expensive international trips, to Peru (Item 4.N) and Ireland (Item 4.O), with a total cost to families of over $900,000. The district’s official rationale for both trips justifies them as developing students into ‘global citizens,’ a common euphemism for political and social programming.
Recommended Action Plan
QUESTION THE AGENDA: Contact the School Board (see the Official Agenda link for details): ‘Regarding Items 4.N and 4.O, what specific curriculum defines a ‘global citizen’ in Pennsbury? Parents funding these trips deserve to know what political or social viewpoints are being promoted under this label.’
💰 Impact: Over $900,000 (Parent-Funded)

District Expanding Student Psychology Services with University Interns
The district is paying two university interns $10,000 each to work as school psychologists under Items 4.D and 4.E. An attached agreement shows their duties can include student counseling, developing behavior plans, and crisis intervention, all with the potential to occur without full parental awareness or consent.
Recommended Action Plan
ASK THE BOARD: Contact the School Board (see the Official Agenda link for details): ‘Regarding Items 4.D and 4.E, what specific parental notification and opt-in consent policies will govern any counseling or psychological interventions performed by these interns on students?’
💰 Impact: Your Child’s Privacy
