New Policy Lets District Police Off-Campus Speech
The proposed update to Policy 249 on Bullying/Cyberbullying (Item 9.A) dramatically expands the district’s authority. The new definition of ‘cyberbullying’ allows administrators to investigate and punish students for speech that occurs entirely off-campus, on personal devices, and outside of school hours, as long as they claim it ‘substantially’ impacts the school environment.
Recommended Action Plan
PACK THE ROOM: This is a massive overreach. Email the Board (see the Official Agenda link) and sign up for public comment: ‘Vote NO on the proposed changes to Policy 249 under Item 9.A. The district has no right to police our children’s private, off-campus speech.’
💰 Impact: Your Child’s Free Speech

$1.9 Million for Undisclosed ‘Private Providers’
Item 7.F approves nearly $2 million for ‘Additional Services with Private Providers’ for Head Start and Early Intervention programs. The agenda provides no list of these providers, what services they offer, or what curriculum they use, hiding major contracts from public scrutiny.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: Open the file ‘20261020 Additional Services with Private Providers.pdf’ attached to Item 7.F in the Official Agenda (linked above) to identify these vendors. Email the Board to demand this item be pulled from the Consent Agenda until a full list of providers and services is made public.
💰 Impact: $1,943,500.00

Board Proposes New Limits on Public Comment
The Board is formalizing rules under Item 2.A that reduce public comment time for non-agenda items from three minutes to two. The rules also state the Presiding Officer can limit the number of speakers, potentially silencing parents who wish to address the board on critical issues.
Recommended Action Plan
Email the Board (see the Official Agenda link): ‘I oppose any changes in Item 2.A that reduce public comment time or give the Board President arbitrary power to limit speakers. Parents’ voices must be heard, not managed.’
💰 Impact: Your Right to Speak

$16.6 Million in Undisclosed Spending
Item 5.B on the Consent Agenda approves over $16.6 million in ‘Bills for Payment.’ The agenda does not provide a list of vendors or what this money is for, hiding a massive amount of spending from public view before the vote.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: Open the file ‘20261020 September 2026 Bills for Payment Report.pdf’ attached to Item 5.B in the Official Agenda (linked above) to see which vendors are being paid. Email the Board to demand this item be pulled from the Consent Agenda for a public discussion.

Vague ‘School Based Access Program’ Agreement
Item 6.A approves a ‘School Based Access Program (SBAP) Support Services’ agreement. This vague title often conceals programs that provide mental or medical health services to students at school without direct parental involvement or consent.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: Open the file ‘20261020 SBAP Agreement with Bristol Borough SD.pdf’ attached to Item 6.A in the Official Agenda (linked above) to confirm whether it establishes school-based services that operate without parental presence.
💰 Impact: Parental Consent

District to Purchase ‘Personal Safety’ Program from SEL Vendor
Hidden within the $2.8M ‘Contracts and Purchases’ list (Item 5.E) is a contract with Positive Action, Inc., a known Social Emotional Learning (SEL) provider. The district is purchasing ‘Personal Safety Program Classes’ and licenses, which can be a gateway for introducing sensitive, non-academic content without parental review.
Recommended Action Plan
Email the Board (see the Official Agenda link): ‘Regarding Item 5.E, I demand the contract with Positive Action Inc. be pulled from the Consent Agenda for a separate vote. Parents must be able to review the curriculum for any ‘Personal Safety’ program before it is purchased.’
💰 Impact: Classroom Indoctrination

District Adopts ‘Gatekeeper’ Suicide Prevention Training
Item 7.G approves a licensing agreement with the QPR Institute for ‘suicide prevention Gatekeeper training.’ This trains staff to identify and intervene with students they deem at-risk, a form of mental health screening and surveillance that can occur without full parental knowledge or consent.
Recommended Action Plan
Email the Board (see the Official Agenda link): ‘Regarding Item 7.G, what are the specific parental notification and consent procedures before a staff member trained as a QPR Gatekeeper can intervene with my child? This must be clarified before approval.’
💰 Impact: Student Surveillance
