University Counseling Interns Coming to Our Schools
The district is approving an agreement to place university students from Gwynedd Mercy University’s Counseling Program into our schools as interns. This creates a direct pipeline for the latest university-led social theories and counseling techniques to be used on our children, bypassing parental review and consent.
Recommended Action Plan
Email the School Board (contact info on the district website): ‘Regarding Item 4.D, I am concerned about outside university counseling interns influencing our students. Before approving this, please provide the public with the training materials and guiding principles of Gwynedd Mercy’s counseling program, especially on gender, sexuality, and parental rights.’
💰 Impact: Your Child’s Mental Health

Discussion on ‘Bring Your Own Device’ Policy
The board is holding a discussion on allowing students to bring their own devices to school (Item 5.D). While this may seem like a cost-saver, it can lead to major increases in classroom screen time, create data privacy risks if students must install school software on personal devices, and opens the door to more distraction and cyberbullying.
Recommended Action Plan
Get ahead of this. Email the School Board (contact info on district website): ‘Before a ‘Bring Your Own Device’ policy is drafted under Item 5.D, I ask the Board to publicly address how it will protect student data on personal devices, prevent an increase in non-academic screen time, and ensure fairness for students who do not have a device.’
💰 Impact: Increased Screen Time

High School Grading Policy Hides Student Struggles
The district’s high school grading framework (Item 5.A) establishes a ‘grading floor’ of 45% and gives a minimum 50% on final exams for ‘good-faith effort.’ These policies artificially inflate grades, which can hide a student’s true academic performance and give parents a misleading picture of whether their child is actually mastering the material.
Recommended Action Plan
Email the School Board (contact info on district website): ‘Regarding the Grading Framework in Item 5.A, why are we artificially inflating grades with a 45% floor? Parents need to see the real scores our children earn to know if they need help. Please remove policies that hide academic reality.’
💰 Impact: Masked Learning Gaps

| ALERT (LEVEL 4) |

University ‘Community Health’ Program in Elementary School
The district is partnering with Chamberlain University to place student nurses in Samuel K Faust Elementary for a ‘Community, Public, and Population Health Practicum’ (Item 4.C). This brings external health trainees into direct contact with young children, potentially for activities or data collection that parents are not aware of.
Recommended Action Plan
Email the School Board (contact info on district website): ‘Regarding Item 4.C, what is the specific parental notification and opt-out process for our elementary students’ interactions with Chamberlain University nursing students? Parents must provide explicit consent before their child participates in any ‘community health’ activity.’
💰 Impact: Your Child’s Privacy

Vague Title — Manual Review Required
Item 5.E is for a High School College and Career Fair, but the attachment listing the participating organizations could not be reviewed. College fairs can sometimes include activist or controversial groups, and parents should know who is being given access to students.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: Open the file for Item 5.E attached in the Official Agenda (linked above) to confirm which organizations will be present at the College and Career Fair.
💰 Impact: Undisclosed Participants
