Heads up! Our parent watchdogs have scanned the upcoming agenda for Wallingford-Swarthmore SD. We found 5 items that need your immediate attention before the vote.
| 🚨 HIGH CONCERN (LEVEL 9) |
|
District Renews Contract for Student “Affinity Groups”
The board is set to renew an agreement with ‘Make the Distinction, Inc.’ specifically for ‘affinity groups’ (Item 8.E). This is a DEI practice that segregates students by race or identity, promoting divisive concepts instead of focusing on academics.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Item 8.E is bundled with routine services in vote 8.G. Email the Board (contact info on district website): ‘I demand Item 8.E, the contract for ‘affinity groups,’ be pulled from the bundled vote for a separate discussion and roll-call vote. Parents deserve to know why the district is funding student segregation.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Student Division

Vague “Counseling Services” Contract Renewal
The district is renewing its agreement with Holcomb Associates, Inc. for ‘counseling and support services’ (Item 8.C). Without seeing the contract, parents don’t know if this involves SEL, mental health screenings, or other interventions that could occur without full parental consent.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: Open the file for Item 8.C in the Official Agenda (linked above) to confirm the scope of these ‘counseling’ services. Email the Board: ‘Regarding Item 8.C, what specific services does Holcomb Associates provide, and what are the parental notification and opt-out procedures for any student counseling?’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Undisclosed Mental Health Services

| 👀 MONITOR (LEVEL 5) |
|
School-Based Dental Screenings Open Door for Clinics
The district is approving an agreement with Kids Smiles, Inc. for school-based dental screenings (Item 8.F). This expands the school’s role into providing healthcare services without a parent present, setting a precedent for more invasive school-based clinics.
Recommended Action Plan
OPT-OUT ALERT: Email the Board: ‘Regarding Item 8.F, please provide the specific parental consent and opt-out forms for the Kids Smiles dental screenings. What student data is collected and shared with this third-party vendor?’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Parental Presence Eroded

| 👀 MONITOR (LEVEL 5) |
|
Vague “Educational Services” Contract with Healthcare Firm
The board is approving a contract with Pyramid Healthcare, Inc., a healthcare company, to provide unspecified ‘educational services’ (Item 8.B). This vague language could conceal mental health or other services provided to students under the guise of education, bypassing parental oversight.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: Open the file for Item 8.B in the Official Agenda (linked above). Email the Board: ‘What specific ‘educational services’ will Pyramid Healthcare be providing to students, and what is the cost to the district?’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Undisclosed Health Services

| ALERT (LEVEL 4) |
|
Taxpayer-Funded Lobbying Report Undisclosed
The agenda includes a report from the Pennsylvania School Board Association (PSBA), a powerful lobbying group (Item 6.A). The contents of this report are not visible, so parents cannot see what legislative positions the PSBA is promoting on their behalf with their tax dollars.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: Open the ‘PSBA Board Report’ file attached to Item 6.A in the Official Agenda (linked above). We need to know if our district is being encouraged to lobby against parental rights bills in the state legislature.
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Taxpayer-Funded Lobbying
