New Position Created to Hunt for Federal Grants
The board is creating a new ‘Grants and Revenue Specialist’ position under Item 3.4, tasked with pursuing federal, state, and private grant money. This creates a direct pipeline for ‘strings-attached’ funding that can force ideological programs like DEI and SEL into our schools, bypassing local parental control.
Recommended Action Plan
Email the Board (contact info on the district website): ‘Regarding Item 3.4, what specific guardrails will be in place to ensure the Grants and Revenue Specialist does not pursue funding that requires the district to adopt controversial ideological curricula? We need a policy of local control, not grant-driven agendas.’
💰 Impact: Ideological Grant Pipeline

District Renews Contract with Urgent Care Provider
Under Item 3.5, the district is renewing its Memorandum of Understanding with Vybe Urgent Care to provide ‘physician services to students.’ While the scope is currently limited, this formalizes a relationship for school-based health services that could expand, potentially allowing for medical services to be provided to children without a parent present.
Recommended Action Plan
Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link): ‘Regarding Item 3.5, what is the district’s policy for parental notification and consent before a student receives any service from Vybe Urgent Care? Parents must be present for any medical consultation with their child.’
💰 Impact: School-Based Clinic Creep

Board to Spend Over $8,000 on New Library Books
Items 5.2(b) through 5.2(e) approve the purchase of $8,041.14 in new library books for four different schools. The district has attached the full book lists to the agenda, but these materials have not been reviewed by parents for age-appropriateness or ideological content before the vote.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: The complete book lists are in the attachments for Items 5.2(b), 5.2(c), 5.2(d), and 5.2(e) in the Official Agenda (linked above). Review the titles for your child’s school and email the Board if you find content that concerns you before they vote.
💰 Impact: $8,041 in Unvetted Books

Vague ‘Teen Research Internship’ with Cancer Center
Item 7.2(c) approves a ‘Teen Research Internship Program’ partnership with Fox Chase Cancer Center. The specific agreement detailing student participation, data privacy, and the scope of the research was referenced in the agenda but the document was not successfully extracted for public review.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: Open the file ‘Fox Chase Cancer Center TRIP Intitiative.pdf’ attached to Item 7.2(c) in the Official Agenda (linked above) to confirm the details of this student research program, including parental consent and data sharing policies, before the vote.
💰 Impact: Your Child’s Privacy

Know the Rules: Board Limits on Public Comment
Item 1.6 outlines the board’s public comment policy, which limits input to two 30-minute sessions and restricts each speaker to three minutes. The presiding officer has the authority to interrupt or terminate comments, which can be used to control the narrative and limit parent feedback on controversial issues.
Recommended Action Plan
SITUATIONAL AWARENESS: If you plan to speak, sign up early as required by policy and prepare to deliver your message concisely within the three-minute limit. These rules mean we must be organized and prepared to make our voices heard effectively.
💰 Impact: Limited Parent Voice
