Heads up! Our parent watchdogs have scanned the upcoming agenda for Middle Bucks Institute of Technology. We found 6 items that need your immediate attention before the vote.
| ⚠️ NEEDS REVIEW (LEVEL 6) |
|
School Adopting Off-Campus Speech Police Policy
The district is updating its bullying policy to include policing student ‘off-campus conduct’ and cyberbullying. This policy could allow administrators to punish students for speech or actions that occur outside of school, infringing on parental oversight and students’ free speech rights.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND CLARITY: Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link) and ask the Board: ‘Regarding Item 7.B, what specific, objective criteria will be used to determine when off-campus speech ‘substantially disrupts’ the school? Parents must have clear lines on where the school’s authority ends and parental authority begins.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Your Child’s Free Speech

New Student ‘Aptitude’ Testing and Data Collection
The district is approving a $7,500 pilot agreement with YouScience, a company that uses ‘aptitude’ testing to guide students’ career paths. These platforms often collect sensitive student data for psychological profiling, and the agreement references an external data privacy policy that parents have not seen.
Recommended Action Plan
OPT-OUT ALERT: Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link) and ask: ‘Regarding Item 7.L, will parents have the right to review all questions and opt their children out of the YouScience aptitude testing? Who owns the student data collected, and can you provide the full Data Privacy Addendum before the vote?’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: $7,500 (Student Data)

Grant Accepted for ‘Disability Inclusive Curriculum’
The district is accepting a grant for a ‘Disability Inclusive Curriculum Pilot Program.’ While supporting students with disabilities is important, terms like ‘inclusive curriculum’ are often used as a vehicle to introduce broader DEI and social justice concepts into all subjects, shifting focus from academics.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link) and ask: ‘Regarding Item 7.P, can the board provide the full curriculum and all training materials associated with the Disability Inclusive Curriculum grant for public review before it is implemented? Parents need to see what this ‘inclusive’ content actually is.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: $10,000 (State Strings Attached)

Ideological Consultant Hired for Teacher Training
August meeting minutes reveal the district hired consultant Tom Murray from ‘All for Ed’ for a keynote presentation to staff titled ‘How You Show Up.’ This type of training often introduces Social Emotional Learning (SEL) and other ideological concepts under the guise of professional development, influencing the school’s ‘comprehensive plan’ and overall culture.
Recommended Action Plan
REQUEST MATERIALS: Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link) and file a public records request for all materials, presentations, and contracts related to the professional development provided by Tom Murray and ‘All for Ed.’ Parents have a right to see the ideological frameworks being taught to teachers.
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Undisclosed Consultant Fee

Board Using Its Vote to Influence State Lobbying Group
The board is voting on officer candidates for the Pennsylvania School Boards Association (PSBA). The PSBA is a powerful lobbying group that often opposes parental rights legislation, so this vote directs the district’s influence toward a specific political agenda at the state level.
Recommended Action Plan
PUT THEM ON THE RECORD: Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link) and ask: ‘Regarding Item 7.R, which candidates will our board be supporting for PSBA leadership, and how do those candidates’ platforms align with protecting parental rights in Pennsylvania? This vote should be a roll-call vote, not a voice vote.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Taxpayer-Funded Lobbying

Vague Title — Manual Review Required
Multiple financial reports (Cash Payments, Treasurer’s Reports) are listed for approval under items 5.A and 5.B, but their contents were not included in the agenda packet. These documents detail all district spending and must be reviewed for payments to ideological consultants or vendors.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: Open the files attached in the Official Agenda (linked above) under items 5.A and 5.B to confirm they do not contain payments to controversial vendors. Any large, unexplained payments should be questioned.
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Undisclosed
