Heads up! Our parent watchdogs have scanned the upcoming agenda for Southmoreland SD. We found 4 items that need your immediate attention before the vote.
| 🚨 HIGH CONCERN (LEVEL 9) |
|
Student Surveillance and Digital Curriculum
| 📅 Vote Scheduled July 27, 2026 |
Under ‘Educational Student Services,’ the board is approving two high-risk items. First, the ‘Westmoreland County Student Assistance Program (SAP),’ a system that allows school staff to identify, target, and refer students for behavioral and mental health interventions, often with minimal parental involvement. Second, ‘Imagine Learning,’ a digital curriculum vendor known for embedding Social Emotional Learning (SEL) and other ideological content into its lessons, bypassing traditional textbook review.
Recommended Action Plan
PACK THE ROOM: This is a major threat to both parental rights and academic focus. Sign up for public comment. Email the School Board and demand that Item D.2 be split. Ask them: ‘What specific interventions does the SAP program use, and what is the exact process for parental notification and consent before a child is referred? Can parents review the full Imagine Learning curriculum before it is purchased?’ Advise them to verify board member emails on the district website.
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Undisclosed vendor costs; Loss of parental oversight on mental health and curriculum.

| 🚨 HIGH CONCERN (LEVEL 8) |
|
Secret Consultant Contract
| 📅 Vote Scheduled July 27, 2026 |
The board is voting to approve a ‘Consulting Agreement with Trader Enterprises, LLC’ under Item E.2, but has failed to attach the actual contract to the public agenda. This is a major transparency violation. Consultants are frequently used to introduce controversial ‘Equity Audits,’ ‘DEI Training,’ or strategic plans that undermine parental authority. Parents have a right to know who this consultant is, what they are being paid to do, and what their agenda is before the vote.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Email the School Board immediately. ‘I demand Item E.2, the Consulting Agreement with Trader Enterprises, LLC, be tabled until the full contract is posted for public review for at least one week. Voting on a secret contract is a violation of public trust.’ Advise them to verify board member emails on the district website.
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Unknown. Consultant fees can range from thousands to hundreds of thousands of dollars.

| ⚠️ NEEDS REVIEW (LEVEL 6) |
|
Vague University Agreements May Open Door to School Clinics
| 📅 Vote Scheduled July 27, 2026 |
The board is approving ‘Education Service Agreements’ with three universities (Item C.3). While one agreement for student teachers is available, the documents for Chamberlain University and St. Vincent College are missing or unreadable. The Chamberlain agreement is particularly concerning as it is a nursing school and the file name mentions ‘healthcare compliance.’ This could be a step towards establishing school-based health services or clinics that can operate without a parent being present.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: Email the School Board: ‘Regarding Item C.3, the agenda documents for Chamberlain University and St. Vincent College are not accessible to the public. Please table this vote and provide the full, readable agreements. What specific activities will nursing students be performing on campus, and what is the policy for parental consent?’ Advise them to verify board member emails on the district website.
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Potential for future school-based health services that bypass parents.

| ALERT (LEVEL 3) |
|
Expansion of Psychological Services
| 📅 Vote Scheduled July 27, 2026 |
Hidden in the Personnel Log (Item C.1) is the approval of a ‘School Psychologist Intern.’ While this is an unpaid position, it signals an expansion of psychological services within the schools. School psychologists are often the primary implementers of Social Emotional Learning (SEL), mental health screenings, and behavioral interventions that can occur without full parental knowledge or consent. This is a small step, but it’s how these programs begin.
Recommended Action Plan
Monitor: This doesn’t require immediate action, but parents should be aware. Track future board agendas for any proposals to hire full-time psychologists or purchase ‘mental health screening’ tools. The first step is an intern, the next is a permanent program.
💰 Taxpayer Impact: None immediately, but sets the stage for future spending on mental health initiatives.
