Heads up! Our parent watchdogs have scanned the upcoming agenda for Spring-Ford Area SD. We found 5 items that need your immediate attention before the vote.
| 🚨 HIGH CONCERN (LEVEL 9) |
|
District Pushing School-Based Health Clinic
The board is discussing a presentation from Marathon Health (Item 3.A) and is already voting to spend $30,000 on engineering for a potential health center (Item 7.D). School-based health clinics can provide medical and mental health services to children without parental presence or consent, creating a serious violation of parental rights.
Recommended Action Plan
PACK THE ROOM: This is a major threat to your rights. Email the Board and sign up for public comment (contact info on district website): ‘I do not co-parent with the government. I oppose any school-based health clinic that could treat my child without my direct consent and presence. Vote NO on Item 7.D and end all exploration of this project.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Parental Consent

Accepting Federal Grants with Strings Attached
The district is accepting nearly $475,000 in federal Title I, II, and IV grants. This federal money almost always comes with strings attached, forcing districts to adopt specific curricula, collect sensitive student data, or implement ‘whole child’ and SEL programs that take focus away from academics.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Email the Board (contact info on district website): ‘Regarding Item 9.C, what specific data collection, curriculum, and staffing requirements are mandated by these federal grants? Parents have a right to know the hidden costs of accepting federal money before you vote.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: $471,102 (Federal Strings Attached)

Contract for In-School Mental Health Counseling
The district plans to pay The Richard J Caron Foundation $8,500 for in-school counseling services, funded by a mental health grant. Bringing in outside counselors can create a confidential relationship with your child that excludes you, and services could be provided without your full knowledge or consent.
Recommended Action Plan
OPT-OUT ALERT: Email the Board (contact info on district website): ‘Regarding Item 7.P, what are the specific parental notification and consent policies for students to receive counseling from The Caron Foundation? Please provide the opt-out form for these services before the vote.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: $8,500 (Mental Health Grant)

Formalizing Federal ‘Whole Child’ Agenda
The board is approving a formal agreement tied to the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA). ESSA is the federal law that pressures schools to shift focus from core academics to subjective, non-academic metrics like ‘school climate surveys’ and Social Emotional Learning (SEL).
Recommended Action Plan
ASK THE HARD QUESTIONS: Email the Board (contact info on district website): ‘How will the ESSA agreement in Item 12.B be used to measure student and school success? Will it prioritize testable academics or subjective social-emotional metrics?’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Focus on Academics

$90,000 Contract for Vague ‘Behavior Support’
The district is approving a $90,000 contract with Soliant Health, LLC for ‘behavior support services.’ This is a vague term often used as a cover for implementing Social Emotional Learning (SEL) or other psychological programming in the classroom without being transparent with parents.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND DETAILS: Email the Board (contact info on district website): ‘Before approving $90,000 for Item 7.U, what specific curriculum and training materials will Soliant Health use for ‘behavior support’? Parents have a right to review these materials.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: $90,000
