Heads up! Our parent watchdogs have scanned the upcoming agenda for Upper Merion Area SD. We found 3 items that need your immediate attention before the vote.
🚨 HIGH CONCERN (LEVEL 9)
Mandating ‘Culturally Responsive’ Ideology for All New Teachers
📅 August 3, 2026
The district’s New Teacher Induction plan, listed under item 10.D, mandates ‘comprehensive training’ in ‘culturally responsive pedagogy’ and ‘trauma-informed practices.’ These are not neutral teaching methods; they are ideological frameworks that often instruct teachers to view students through the lens of group identity, which can lead to unequal standards in the classroom. This isn’t about academics; it’s about embedding a political viewpoint into every subject before a new teacher even steps into a classroom.
Recommended Action Plan

PACK THE ROOM: We need parents at the August 3rd meeting. Sign up for public comment and contact the School Board. Demand they replace ideological training with professional development focused on academic excellence and classical instruction. Tell them: ‘Stop training teachers in social engineering and start training them to teach math and reading.’ (Parents should verify board member contact information on the district website).

💰 Taxpayer Impact: Staff time and resources
🚨 HIGH CONCERN (LEVEL 8)
Using Special Ed Funds for District-Wide ‘SEL and Equity’ Training
📅 August 3, 2026
Under item 9.C, the Board is set to approve a contract for up to $22,000 with the University of Pennsylvania’s Graduate School of Education. The purpose is to provide ‘training and consultation’ for staff on ‘social and emotional learning (SEL)’ and ‘equity.’ This uses special education (IDEA) funds, meant for our most vulnerable students, to push a district-wide ideological agenda on all teachers and, ultimately, all students.
Recommended Action Plan

DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Contact the School Board and Superintendent. Ask: ‘Why are special education funds being used for a district-wide political initiative? I demand Item 9.C be pulled for a separate discussion and vote. Parents deserve to know what ‘equity’ means to UPenn’s consultants before you spend $22,000.’ (Parents should verify contact information on the district website).

💰 Taxpayer Impact: $22,000 (IDEA Funds)
⚠️ NEEDS REVIEW (LEVEL 6)
Student ‘Leadership’ Program Focuses on ‘Identity and Belonging’
📅 August 3, 2026
The district is paying to send high school students to a multi-year program called ‘Dreaming Forward’ (Item 10.B). The program’s own materials state its goal is to help students ‘Explore who you are and build self-awareness’ and ‘what it means to truly belong.’ This is a classic Social Emotional Learning (SEL) program that focuses on students’ feelings and group identity rather than on genuine leadership skills and academic achievement.
Recommended Action Plan

ASK QUESTIONS: Contact the Assistant Superintendent. Ask: ‘Regarding Item 10.B, what specific curriculum is used in the ‘Dreaming Forward’ program? Will parents be allowed to review all materials before their children attend? Who is the MCIU accountable to for the content of this program?’ (Parents should verify contact information on the district website).

💰 Taxpayer Impact: $550
