District to Partner with Penn ‘Mental Health Consortium’
The district plans to spend $10,000 to partner with the University of Pennsylvania’s ‘Consortium for Mental Health & Optimal Development’ (Item 8.1). This partnership will create a ‘streamlined’ system of ‘Tier 1, 2, and 3 mental health, behavioral and social interventions’ for all grade levels, using toolkits on topics like ‘Trauma-Informed Practices’ and ‘Belonging.’ This creates a pathway for school-based mental health interventions and social engineering without direct parental oversight for each step.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Email the Board (contact info on district website): ‘Regarding Item 8.1, what specific interventions will be used on students under this new mental health framework? Will parents be notified and have the right to consent before any ‘Tier 2’ or ‘Tier 3′ intervention is applied to their child? This item must be debated publicly, not just approved by a committee.’
💰 Impact: $10,000

High School Library Order Features Multiple LGBTQ+ Titles
The proposed library book order for William Tennent High School (Item 8.6) includes a significant number of books with explicit LGBTQ+ themes, including ‘Heartstopper: Volume 6’ and ‘Fight of our lives : AIDS in America.’ This $1,335 purchase represents a deliberate focus on acquiring materials from a specific ideological viewpoint for the student library.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Email the Board (contact info on district website): ‘Regarding the book order in Item 8.6, what is the district’s policy for ensuring viewpoint diversity in library collections? Parents deserve to know if the selection process is balanced or if it prioritizes acquiring books from one particular social agenda.’
💰 Impact: $1,335.85

Staffer to Attend State ‘Data Summit’ Conference
The district is spending $1,422 for the Registrar & Data Specialist to attend the 2027 Pennsylvania Department of Education (PDE) Data Summit (Item 8.2). The conference focuses on data collection systems (PIMS), data governance, and topics including ‘Mental health’ and ‘Student Impact.’ This training equips staff to expand the district’s capacity for student data collection and surveillance.
Recommended Action Plan
ASK FIRST: Email the Board (contact info on district website): ‘Regarding Item 8.2, what new student data will the district be collecting as a result of this PDE Data Summit? How is student data on ‘mental health’ and ‘student impact’ collected, stored, and shared with the state?’
💰 Impact: $1,422.14

High School Science Sequence and Support Courses Changing
The 2027-28 Program of Studies (Item 8.7) alters the high school science sequence, making Biology a 10th-grade course to align with new state ‘STEELS’ standards. It also eliminates ‘Biology Concepts,’ a course designed to support English Language learners. Parents need to understand how these academic pathway changes will affect their children’s readiness for advanced science courses and state exams.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Email the Board (contact info on district website) before they vote on Item 8.7: ‘What is the academic rationale for the new science sequence, and what data shows it will improve student outcomes on the Biology Keystone exam? How will you ensure English Learners receive equivalent support after the elimination of Biology Concepts?’
💰 Impact: Altered Academic Pathways

Middle School Library Order Includes Book Tagged ‘LGBTQIA+’
The proposed library book order for Log College Middle School (Item 8.5) includes ‘Srta. campista,’ a Spanish-language graphic novel. The vendor, Follett, has tagged this book for an ‘LGBTQIA+’ audience, but the book’s summary does not describe this content. Parents deserve to know what content is being purchased for the middle school library with taxpayer funds.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: Email the Board (contact info on district website): ‘Regarding the book order in Item 8.5, what is the specific content in the book ‘Srta. campista’ that caused the vendor to apply an ‘LGBTQIA+’ tag? The Board must review this book for age-appropriateness before approving its purchase for middle schoolers.’
💰 Impact: Part of $375.45 order

District Expands College Credit Opportunities for High Schoolers
The proposed 2027-28 Program of Studies for William Tennent High School (Item 8.7) includes new dual enrollment partnerships with Bucks County Community College and expanded course offerings through Gwynedd Mercy University. This action increases the opportunities for students to earn real college credits while still in high school, enhancing academic rigor and saving families money.
How to Lock It In
SECURE THE WIN: Show up or email the Board (contact info on district website) to thank them for approving Item 8.7 and expanding dual enrollment. Publicly supporting these academic programs makes it harder for them to be cut in the future and encourages neighboring districts to follow suit.
✅ Why It Matters: Increased Academic Opportunity
