District Strategy Doubles Down on Student Intervention Systems
A report from the Bucks IU (Item 2.1, ‘Programs and Services Mini Report’) confirms a key strategic priority is the ‘Sustained Implementation of Integrated Multi-Tiered Systems of Support (iMTSS) and SWPBIS.’ This is the master plan for implementing behavioral and academic intervention systems that collect student data and can replace academics with therapy.
Recommended Action Plan
PACK THE ROOM: This isn’t a vote, it’s a statement of strategy. Use public comment (Item 6.1) to challenge this direction. Tell the board: ‘Parents want a focus on core academics, not expensive, data-collecting behavioral intervention systems like iMTSS and SWPBIS. We reject the ‘Whole Child’ approach and demand a return to academic excellence.’
💰 Impact: Replacing Academics

$177k Contract Funds Behavioral Intervention System
Item 14.1 is a $177,227 contract for a Special Education Supervisor who is explicitly tasked with implementing ‘School-Wide Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (SWPBIS)’. SWPBIS is a system for managing student behavior that often includes SEL components and data tracking that parents are not aware of.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link) before the vote on Item 14.1. Ask the board: ‘What specific data will be collected on students under the SWPBIS framework, who has access to it, and what is the parental opt-out process? This must be public before you spend $177,000.’
💰 Impact: $177,227.88

Board Policy Imposes 45-Minute Gag Rule on Parents
Policy 903, referenced in items 6.1 and 15.1, states that each public comment session will last no longer than forty-five (45) minutes. This is a direct attempt to limit public input and silence parents who have concerns about district policies, especially when many people wish to speak.
Recommended Action Plan
This is an active policy, not a new vote. Sign up for public comment on Item 6.1 to demand the Board remove the arbitrary 45-minute time limit from Policy 903. Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link) and tell them: ‘Parents will not be silenced. The 45-minute limit on public comment is an insult to taxpayers and must be removed.’
💰 Impact: Your Right to Speak

Vague ‘Attendance Improvement’ Program Requires Investigation
Item 9.2 seeks approval for an ‘Attendance Improvement Matters (AIM) Agreement.’ These programs often track ‘chronic absenteeism’ and can lead to intrusive surveillance of families, including home visits, without full transparency.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: The agreement for Item 9.2 was not included in the agenda packet. Open the file ‘BCIU – AIM Program Agreement 26-27.pdf’ in the Official Agenda (linked above) to see what data is collected and what ‘interventions’ are authorized before the board votes.
💰 Impact: Family Privacy

Heads Up: ‘Wellness Checks’ on the Policy Horizon
The Policy Committee Report (Item 12.1) reveals that Policy 204.1 ‘Virtual Attendance and Wellness Checks’ is being prepared for review. ‘Wellness checks’ are often a trojan horse for mental health screenings and data collection on your child without your consent.
Recommended Action Plan
MONITOR & PREPARE: This is an early warning, not a vote. Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link) and ask to be notified when Policy 204.1 will have its First Read. Tell them: ‘Parents must be the primary decision-makers on all student health and wellness matters, including any form of ‘wellness check’.’
💰 Impact: Parental Consent
