We reviewed the upcoming agenda for Quakertown Community SD and identified 1 items with potential legal exposure ahead of the vote.
LOW (LEVEL 3)
FAFSA Completion or Opt-Out as Graduation Requirement
📅 October 12, 2026
The district’s draft 2027-2028 Program of Studies adds a graduation requirement mandating students complete the FAFSA or submit an official opt-out form. This policy, implementing state law (Act 47), compels families to either disclose sensitive financial information or take an affirmative step to opt out as a condition of receiving a diploma.
Intake Action

Item 5.A introduces a draft Program of Studies implementing a state-mandated FAFSA/opt-out graduation requirement. Monitor the development of the ‘official opt-out form’ to ensure the process is not burdensome and does not chill parental rights. No direct action is warranted at this committee stage.
