Heads up! Our parent watchdogs have scanned the upcoming agenda for Bucks County IU 22. We found 5 items that need your immediate attention before the vote.
| 🚨 HIGH CONCERN (LEVEL 8) |
|
Board President Given Power to Act Alone on Property Deals
This item authorizes the Board President to single-handedly execute a Letter of Intent and other legal documents for a ‘potential acquisition of real property,’ even between board meetings. This reduces transparency and allows major financial commitments to be advanced without a full public board discussion and vote.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND ACCOUNTABILITY: This item (8.F) is on the Consent Agenda. Email the Board (contact info on district website): ‘Pull Item 8.F from the Consent Agenda for a separate discussion and roll-call vote. The public deserves to hear the full board debate any measure that allows the President to act unilaterally on major property deals.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Reduced Board Oversight

| ⚠️ NEEDS REVIEW (LEVEL 7) |
|
New Online Curriculum Vendor for Virtual School
The board is approving a $30,000 purchase of online courses from ‘Edmentum’ for the Bridges Virtual program. Online curriculum platforms are a major pipeline for ideological content on topics like social justice and gender identity, often without direct parental oversight.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Email the Board (contact info on district website): ‘I demand to know what process is in place for parental review of the course content from Edmentum under Item 7.Q. Parents have a right to see the curriculum before our children are taught from it.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: $30,000

Vague ‘Discovery Education’ Contract – Manual Review Required
The board is approving two agreements totaling $49,044 for ‘Discovery Education Experience,’ a digital curriculum platform. While presented as standard, this vendor’s content, particularly in social studies and science, can sometimes include politically-charged topics like ‘global citizenship’ and climate ideology.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: The main agreement file was not included in the agenda packet. Open the file ‘Discover Ed Agreement.pdf’ attached to Item 7.C in the Official Agenda (linked above) to confirm the terms and conditions. Email the Board and ask for a public review of the curriculum content before it is used in classrooms.
💰 Taxpayer Impact: $49,044

Vague $917k Library Contract – Manual Review Required
The board is approving a three-and-a-half-year, $917,736 contract with the ‘Interlibrary Delivery Service of Pennsylvania.’ The attachment explaining this large, long-term contract could not be opened from the agenda packet.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: Open the file ‘20260818 Bucks County Intermediate Unit 22 Mangement Service Agreement Signed.pdf’ attached to Item 6.C in the Official Agenda (linked above) to confirm the details of this nearly million-dollar agreement.
💰 Taxpayer Impact: $917,736

| Major Win (LEVEL 8) |

District Partners for Phonics-Based Reading Program
The board is approving a partnership to provide Wilson Language Training, a highly-regarded reading program based on the science of reading. This is a significant step away from ‘whole language’ and towards proven, phonics-based instruction to ensure kids learn to read effectively.
How to Lock It In
Show up to thank the Board for prioritizing proven, phonics-based reading instruction. Get this on the record so it can’t be quietly reversed and use it as a model for neighboring districts that are still failing kids with ‘whole language’ curricula.
✅ Why It Matters: Return to Academics
