District to Adopt Sweeping ‘Educational Equity’ Policy
The board will hold a second reading and final vote on Policy 832, which embeds controversial concepts like ‘Anti-racism,’ ‘Implicit Bias,’ and ‘Intersectionality’ into all district operations. This policy creates a permanent ‘equity’ bureaucracy, mandates staff training in these concepts, and shifts the focus from academic equality to unequal outcomes based on group identity.
Recommended Action Plan
PACK THE ROOM: This policy is the foundation for radical changes in curriculum and student treatment. Email the Board (contact info on district website): ‘I demand you vote NO on Policy 832. Our schools must focus on academic excellence and equal opportunity, not divisive equity politics.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Academics Replaced by Ideology

District Buying Law Enforcement-Grade Family Surveillance System
The board plans to approve a $40,804 contract with Thomson Reuters for the ‘CLEAR’ system, which includes ‘License Plate Recognition Data’ and the ability to investigate social media and web data. While presented as a tool for ‘residency verification,’ this is a law enforcement-grade surveillance system that will be used to investigate district families.
Recommended Action Plan
PACK THE ROOM: This is an unprecedented invasion of family privacy. Email the Board (contact info on district website): ‘Vote NO on the Thomson Reuters CLEAR contract. The district has no business using law enforcement surveillance tools on parents and students.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Your Family’s Privacy

Over Half a Million Dollars for In-School Counselors
The district is approving a $561,510 agreement with Lakeside Youth Service to place three licensed mental health professionals in schools. These external counselors may operate without direct parental oversight or notification, creating a pathway for sensitive discussions and interventions concerning your child to occur without your knowledge or consent.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Email the Board (contact info on district website): ‘Regarding item 5.A, what are the specific policies for parental notification and consent before a student is seen by a Lakeside counselor? We do not co-parent with the school.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: $561,510

New System to Track Student Device and App Usage
The district is spending $26,208 to purchase an ‘advanced reporting feature’ for its internet filtering system. This upgrade moves beyond simple filtering to actively monitoring and analyzing how much time students spend on specific apps and their devices each day, creating a detailed digital record of your child’s behavior.
Recommended Action Plan
OPT-OUT ALERT: Email the Board (contact info on district website): ‘Regarding item 7.K, who owns the student data collected by this advanced reporting feature? Please provide the specific parental opt-out form before this is voted on.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: $26,208

Outsourcing Student Psychological Evaluations
The district is contracting with Central Penn Education Associates to conduct ‘psychoeducational evaluations’ on students. Outsourcing this sensitive function to a third party creates a risk that ideological frameworks could be used in assessments without parental awareness, potentially leading to misdiagnosis or labeling of your child.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND OVERSIGHT: Email the Board (contact info on district website): ‘Regarding item 5.L, what specific evaluation frameworks will Central Penn Associates use, and how will parents be fully informed and able to grant consent before any evaluation of their child begins?’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Your Child’s Mental Health Records

New ‘Portrait of a Classroom’ Initiative Introduced
The Superintendent’s report includes an update on the district’s ‘Portrait of a Classroom’ work. This is often a euphemism for programs that replace traditional academics with Social Emotional Learning (SEL) and other subjective, non-academic ‘competencies.’
Recommended Action Plan
ASK QUESTIONS: This is an early warning. Email the Board (contact info on district website): ‘What is the ‘Portrait of a Classroom’ initiative? Parents deserve a full, transparent presentation on how this will impact academics before any resources are committed.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Focus on Academics
