| 🚨 HIGH CONCERN (LEVEL 10) |

District Approves ‘Second Step’ SEL Curriculum
In the June 10th committee meeting, the board recommended the purchase of the ‘Second Step’ curriculum (Item 8.12). This is a well-known Social Emotional Learning (SEL) program that replaces traditional academics with lessons on social engineering and emotional management. This curriculum is now likely being implemented in classrooms.
Recommended Action Plan
URGENT: Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link) and demand to know which schools and grades are using the ‘Second Step’ curriculum approved in June. Ask for the specific parental notification and opt-out procedures for this SEL program. Quote: ‘We do not consent to our children being subjected to the Second Step SEL curriculum.’

District Using ‘Panorama’ for Student/Family Surveys
The June 10th meeting minutes (Item 7.2) confirm the district is using Panorama Education to conduct ‘Climate and Culture’ surveys of students and families. Panorama is a data-mining company that collects sensitive information on students’ attitudes, beliefs, and home life, often without meaningful parental consent.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND ANSWERS: Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link) and ask: ‘What specific data is Panorama collecting on our children and families under Item 7.2 from the June 10th meeting? How can I review my child’s survey responses, and how do I opt them out of all future data collection by this vendor?’

District Expanding ‘MTSS’ Behavioral Surveillance System
Presentations on June 10th (Items 7.2 and 7.3) detailed the district’s deep investment in Multi-Tiered System of Supports (MTSS) and PBIS. These systems are used to track student behavior, academics, and emotional states, creating detailed profiles on children that can be used to justify interventions without full parental knowledge.
Recommended Action Plan
PUT THE BOARD ON NOTICE: Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link): ‘I am concerned about the expansion of the MTSS/PBIS data collection systems. I demand a public presentation on what specific data points are being tracked on students and how parents can access and control this information.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Behavioral Profiling

| ⚠️ NEEDS REVIEW (LEVEL 6) |

Taxpayer-Funded Conference Includes ‘School Climate’ Training
Item 8.1 recommends spending $3,900 to send three staff members to the ACAPA conference. The conference agenda includes a session by the PA Dept. of Education on ‘Office of School Climate and Well-Being,’ a common euphemism for implementing SEL and DEI initiatives.
Recommended Action Plan
QUESTION THE SPENDING: Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link) before the vote on Item 8.1. Ask: ‘Why are we spending nearly $4,000 on a conference that includes training on subjective, non-academic topics like ‘School Climate and Well-Being’ instead of focusing on core academic skills?’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: $3,899.97

Vague ‘Portrait of a Graduate’ Initiative Presented
Under Item 7.1, the board will hear a presentation on the ‘Centennial Portrait of a Graduate.’ These initiatives often serve as a vehicle to embed non-academic requirements like SEL, ‘Global Citizenship,’ or DEI competencies into graduation standards, diluting the focus on academic achievement.
Recommended Action Plan
ATTEND AND REPORT: Attend the meeting on September 9th to listen to the ‘Portrait of a Graduate’ presentation (Item 7.1). Take notes on any mention of SEL, equity, global citizenship, or other non-academic buzzwords and report back to the chapter. This is our chance to get ahead of a new ideological push.
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Academic Standards
