Centre County parents organizing to fight mask & vaxx mandates in schools.
Campaigns lobbying SCASD school board, Bellefonte.
More information on parents working to get school districts to #unmaskourkids and to stop vaxx mandates.
Update on Bellefonte school board meeting held June 15:
The grant money that PDE appears to be withholding from school districts in order to coerce mRNA injections on kids and parents is an “ESSER 3 ARP grant ($3,147,000 total).”
The acronyms stand for “Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief” under the “American Rescue Plan.” It’s the third round of federal funding being passed through the states to schools under those programs.
SCASD School Board meeting Tuesday, June 21 at 7 p.m.
Through the PCIC-Centre County Chapter, I learned this week that SCASD parents have organized a petition to end masking, assisted by a statewide organization called Pennsylvania Parents Protecting Children.
If you want to sign it, here’s the link:
At the PPPC website, you can also register to get campaign updates, specifying which school district you are in.*
Ahead of the June 21 SCASD board meeting, parents are contacting Superintendent Robert O’Donnell and board members to request that the meeting be held in-person (not only on Zoom) and open to the in-person public.
Parents are also encouraged to send O’Donnell and board members questions parents would like to see the board address.
Parent organizers will be sending lists of objections to mask mandates to O’Donnell and the board, along with a copy of the petition and signatories later this week.
Parent organizers will also be forwarding copies of their own communications to the board, to the Centre Daily Times.
Here is a list of the board and superintendent email addresses.

*I don’t know who the SCASD parent organizers are, but I’ve signed the PPPC petition to SCASD to end masking, and registered at the PPPC site as a SCASD parent, so hopefully I’ll start getting updates specific to the SCASD campaign.
