Massive $607,965 Contract for Undisclosed ‘Employee Training’
A payment of $607,965 is listed to a vendor called “Innovamat Education, Inc.” for “Employee Training/Dev.” This is a huge sum for a vague purpose, potentially funding district-wide training in controversial ideologies like Critical Race Theory or gender theory without parental oversight.
Recommended Action Plan
PACK THE ROOM: This is a massive, unexplained expenditure. Email the School Board (contact info on district website): ‘I demand a full public explanation of the $607,965 payment to Innovamat Education for Item listed in the check summary. What is this training, who is this vendor, and why wasn’t this a separate agenda item for discussion?’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: $607,965

| 🚨 HIGH CONCERN (LEVEL 9) |

New ‘Suicide Prevention’ Policy Introduced Without Public Text
The board is doing a ‘First Reading’ of several new policies, including the highly sensitive ‘819-Suicide Awareness, Prevention, and Response.’ These policies are often used to insert protocols for socially transitioning students or referring them for mental health services without parental knowledge or consent, but the district has not provided the draft text for parents to review.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Email the School Board (contact info on district website): ‘Regarding Agenda Item 4.01, I demand that the full text of all proposed policies, especially Policy 819, be made public immediately. Parents have a right to review any policy affecting student welfare and mental health before it is even considered for a vote.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Parental Notification Rights

| 🚨 HIGH CONCERN (LEVEL 8) |

Contract with ‘Center for Humanistic Change’ for Student Screenings
The district is approving a contract with the ‘Center for Humanistic Change’ to run the Student Assistance Program (SAP). This agreement allows an outside group to conduct ‘student screenings’ and facilitate ‘educational SAP groups,’ creating a pathway for mental health interventions and data collection on your child without you in the room.
Recommended Action Plan
PACK THE ROOM: This program inserts an outside ideological group into our schools. Email the School Board (contact info on district website): ‘Vote NO on Item 3.01. Parents, not outside vendors, are responsible for their children’s mental and emotional well-being. We do not consent to third-party ‘student screenings’ in our schools.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Your Child’s Privacy

District Buys from Known SEL Vendor ‘Curriculum Associates’
A payment of $13,013 is being made to Curriculum Associates. This vendor is known for the i-Ready platform, which often embeds Social Emotional Learning (SEL) concepts into academic subjects and collects extensive data on student attitudes and beliefs.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Email the School Board (contact info on district website): ‘Regarding the payment to Curriculum Associates, I demand to know if this purchase includes SEL components and what specific student data will be collected. Parents must have the right to review all materials and opt-out of any SEL-related content or data mining.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: $13,013

Third-Party Student Survey Requires Investigation
The board is voting to approve a third-party ‘Achieve Study Survey’ for students. The district has not provided a copy of the survey, so parents have no way of knowing what questions will be asked or what will be done with their children’s data.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: Email the School Board (contact info on district website): ‘Regarding Item 3.02, I request a full copy of the Achieve Study Survey be made public before any vote. Per district policy 235, parents must be able to review any third-party survey before it is administered to our children.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Student Data Privacy

Massive $279,115 Tech Purchase Lacks Specifics
A pre-payment of $279,115 is listed to CDW Government for ‘Tech Supplies & Fees.’ This is a very large and vague expenditure that could include software for student surveillance, data dashboards, or other technology that impacts student privacy without parental knowledge.
Recommended Action Plan
ASK QUESTIONS: Email the School Board (contact info on district website): ‘I request a detailed breakdown of the $279,115 technology purchase from CDW. What specific hardware and software is being purchased, and will any of it be used to monitor or collect non-academic data on students?’

District Accepts ‘Mental Health’ Grant with Potential Strings
The district’s financial report shows receipt of a $55,900 ‘School Mental Health’ grant from the PCCD. These state and federal grants often come with requirements to adopt specific ideological programs, conduct student surveys, or share private student data.
Recommended Action Plan
OPT-OUT ALERT: Email the School Board (contact info on district website): ‘Regarding the PCCD Mental Health Grant mentioned in report 6.06, what are the specific requirements tied to this funding? Please confirm that parents can review all related materials and opt their children out of any associated programs or data collection.’

Counseling Interns to Operate Under Outside ‘Ethical’ Codes
The district is approving an agreement to bring in school counseling interns from Chestnut Hill College. The contract specifies these interns will operate under the American Counseling Association (ACA) code of ethics, which can require them to affirm a child’s gender identity or withhold information from parents, creating a conflict with parental rights.
Recommended Action Plan
ASK QUESTIONS: Email the School Board (contact info on district website): ‘Regarding Item 2.02, please confirm that all counseling interns will be required to operate under district policy that prioritizes parental notification above any conflicting external code of ethics. Parents must be the primary decision-makers for their children.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Bypassing Parents
