Local Policy Brief

📅 Thursday, October 15, 2026 to Calendar

We reviewed the upcoming agenda for Upper Bucks County Technical School and found 2 items with policy significance ahead of the vote.

WATCH (LEVEL 5)

District Places Discrimination and Harassment Policies On Hold

📅 October 15, 2026

A policy summary sheet included in the agenda attachments indicates that Policy 103 (Discrimination/Harassment Affecting Students) and Policy 104 (Discrimination/Harassment Affecting Staff) are ‘ON HOLD.’ This signals a deliberate pause on updating policies that are often the primary vehicle for implementing contested DEI and Title IX frameworks.

Policy Use

WATCH: The Policy Summary Sheet shows policies 103 and 104 are on hold. Monitor future agendas for their re-introduction and request drafts when they appear, as these policies are key venues for DEI and Title IX implementation.

Policy Lever: Title IX Compliance

✅ Models to Replicate

Local actions worth capturing as model policy.

Model Policy (LEVEL 7)

District Proposes Strengthened Acceptable Use Policy

📅 October 15, 2026

The district is reviewing a draft revision of Policy 815, ‘Acceptable Use of Internet, Computers and Network Resources.’ The new policy explicitly states users have no expectation of privacy on school networks, requires signed user agreements from parents and students, and allows parents to request adjustments to internet filters for their children with written permission.

How to Capture It

CAPTURE THE MODEL: The draft of Policy 815 under item 2.B contains strong language on parental consent, student safety, and privacy waivers. Secure the final adopted text and add it to the state model policy file for technology and parental rights.

✅ Why It Matters: Parental Consent and Notification
