We reviewed the upcoming agenda for Pennridge SD and identified 2 items with potential legal exposure ahead of the vote.
MONITOR (LEVEL 6)
Truancy Services Contract with BCIU
📅 October 13, 2026
The board is reviewing contract 2.G with Bucks County Intermediate Unit to provide truancy services, including ‘Clinical Attendance Therapy Services’ and student intake assessments. This agreement creates potential legal exposure by authorizing a third party to provide therapeutic and assessment services to minors, which may occur without specific, opt-in parental consent for each service.
Intake Action

RECORDS REQUEST: For Item 2.G, submit a public records request for all district policies and procedures regarding parental notification and consent for truancy interventions, assessments, and therapeutic services, including those provided by third-party contractors like BCIU.

Contract Approval for Scholastic Book Fair
📅 October 13, 2026
The board is reviewing services agreement 2.F with Scholastic Book Fairs for an event at North Middle School from 11/30/26 to 12/4/26. This action authorizes a vendor known for providing ideologically-driven and age-inappropriate materials, implicating parental rights to direct their children’s education and shield them from certain content.
Intake Action

RECORDS REQUEST: For Item 2.F, submit a public records request for the list of all books and materials to be offered at the Scholastic Book Fair at North Middle School. Advise local contacts to monitor the materials presented at the fair.
