New K-8 Student Data Tracking Platform
The district plans to spend $28,500 on the ‘SchoolPace’ digital platform from American Reading Company for all K-8 students. This is a data-collection tool that will track your child’s reading progress and potentially other metrics, creating a permanent digital record.
Recommended Action Plan
OPT-OUT ALERT: Email the Schuylkill Valley School Board (contact info on district website): ‘Regarding Item 7.3, who owns the student data collected by American Reading Company’s SchoolPace platform? Before this is approved, parents demand to see the data privacy policy and the specific opt-out form for this data collection.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: $28,500.00

| ⚠️ NEEDS REVIEW (LEVEL 7) |

Taxpayer-Funded ‘Policy’ Training for Administrator
The board is spending $2,650 to send an administrator to an ‘Education Policy Fellowship Program.’ This program, run by the Education Policy and Leadership Center (EPLC), is designed to influence and shape state-level education policy, potentially training staff to lobby for agendas that parents oppose.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Email the Schuylkill Valley School Board (contact info on district website): ‘Regarding Item 6.21, what is the political leaning of the Education Policy and Leadership Center? Taxpayer dollars should not fund training for political activism or lobbying. Please vote NO on this expenditure.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: $2,650.00

Recommended Action Plan
ASK QUESTIONS: Email the Schuylkill Valley School Board (contact info on district website): ‘Regarding Item 6.6, what is the vetting process for GHR’s substitute counselors and psychologists to ensure they align with our community’s values? Who is liable if they violate a student’s privacy or parental rights?’
