Heads up! We have scanned the upcoming agenda for Pennsbury SD. We found 5 items that need your immediate attention before the vote.
| NEEDS REVIEW (LEVEL 7) |
|
Public Comment Time Severely Restricted
The board is limiting the entire public comment period to just 15 minutes for a 90-minute meeting. This means only five parents can speak for three minutes each, effectively silencing community feedback on important issues before the board.
Recommended Action Plan
PACK THE ROOM: Arrive early to sign up for one of the few public comment slots. Email the School Board (contact info on the district website): ‘The 15-minute limit on public comment under Item 2.A is an unacceptable restriction on parental speech. We demand you restore a reasonable time for public input at all meetings.’
💰 Impact: Your Voice is Silenced

School Boundary Study Vendor Undisclosed
The board plans to approve a $41,000 contract for a ‘boundary optimization study,’ which could lead to redrawing school attendance zones for your children. However, the agenda leaves the name of the company blank, preventing parents from researching the vendor before the vote.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Email the School Board (contact info on the district website): ‘Item 5.B is a vote on a $41,000 boundary study with no vendor named. We demand you table this vote until the vendor’s name is publicly disclosed with enough time for parental review.’
💰 Impact: $41,000

| NEEDS REVIEW (LEVEL 6) |
|
Vague Title — Manual Review Required
The board is presenting a ‘PDE 363’ form, which is an application for an exception to raise taxes above the state-mandated limit. The document itself was not included in the agenda packet, preventing public review of a potential tax hike before the meeting.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: Under Item 4.A, the district references ‘PDE 363’. Open the file attached in the Official Agenda (linked above) to confirm if this is an application to raise taxes beyond the state limit. Email the School Board: ‘Parents demand transparency on any plan to seek an exception to the Act 1 tax index. Please explain the purpose of the PDE 363 form before any action is taken.’
💰 Impact: Potential Tax Hike

| MONITOR (LEVEL 5) |
|
Undisclosed Book Donation Accepted for Schools
The board is voting to accept a donation of three books for the district, but the titles and content of the books are not disclosed in the agenda. This bypasses any public review process for materials entering our schools and libraries.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Email the School Board (contact info on the district website): ‘Regarding Item 5.G, what are the titles of the three books being donated and what is the process for reviewing donated materials before they are accepted and placed in schools? Parents have a right to know what materials are entering our classrooms.’
💰 Impact: Unvetted Classroom Materials

| ALERT (LEVEL 4) |
|
County Pushing ‘Social Emotional Learning’ Teacher Credentials
A report from the Bucks County Intermediate Unit (BCIU), presented to the board, actively promotes a ‘Social, Emotional and Behavioral Wellness’ (SEL) endorsement program for teachers. This signals a regional push to train educators in SEL ideology, shifting focus from academics to subjective emotional instruction.
Recommended Action Plan
ASK THE BOARD: Email the School Board (contact info on the district website): ‘The BCIU report under Item 6.A promotes an SEL teacher endorsement. How many Pennsbury teachers are enrolled in this program, and is the district paying for it? We expect our teachers to be trained in academic subjects, not social-emotional engineering.’
💰 Impact: Teacher Training in SEL
