District Creates New ‘Grants and Revenue Specialist’ Position
The board is voting to approve a new “Grants and Revenue Specialist” position, established as a two-year pilot program. The role is designed to proactively seek and manage federal, state, and private grant opportunities, as well as corporate sponsorships and other external funding. This creates a dedicated channel for bringing in external funds, which often come with policy conditions that align the district with outside priorities.
Policy Use
TRACK AND DOCUMENT: Item 3.4 creates a new position dedicated to securing external grants. This role will be a key point of contact for tracking federal and state grant applications and their associated policy conditions. Add this district to the state grant-tracking file and monitor future grant awards.

Policy Text Not Available – Teen Research Internship Program
The board is approving an agreement with Fox Chase Cancer Center for a ‘Teen Research Internship Program (TRIP) partnership.’ The agenda states there is no cost to the district, but the agreement detailing the scope of the internship and student involvement was not included in the provided documents. Such partnerships can influence curriculum and involve student data or health-related activities.

District Renews MOU for Student Physician Services
The board is renewing a Memorandum of Understanding with Vybe Urgent Care to provide physician services. The services include acting as the district’s Doctor of Record for standing orders and providing medical authorization for Individualized Education Programs (IEPs) at a cost of $25 per IEP. This formalizes an external provider for student health services, including those related to special education.
Policy Use
WATCH: Item 3.5 renews a contract for external physician services, including for IEPs. While routine, this establishes a mechanism for third-party involvement in student health. Monitor district policies on parental notification and consent for these services.
