ATTENTION

Southern Tioga School District has determined that it is necessary to address false rumors that are being spread on social media.  The District has been made aware of social media postings and newspaper ads that claim the District is implementing a curriculum that includes Critical Race Theory, Gender Ideology, and the sexualization of children.  These rumors are categorically false.

Furthermore, there is no truth to the rumors claiming there are litter boxes in the restrooms in the School District.  

The School District is in the process of creating a new curriculum that focuses on skills found in Social and Emotional Learning, PA Career Ready Skills, and on preparing for Future Ready students.  The District is developing a curriculum that may include the following concepts: 1) Recognizing and Managing Emotions; 2) Active Listening; 3) Perspective-Taking/Empathizing with Others; 4) Problem-Solving/Decision-Making; 5) Conflict Management; 6) Collaborating Effectively, and 7) Persevering through Challenges and Setbacks.   

Southern Tioga School District takes its responsibility to educate our children seriously.  We accept all of our students as they are.   We are committed to providing an educational environment that is safe for all individuals and we are committed to assuring a work and educational environment free of unlawful discrimination because of race, color, religion, disability, ancestry, national origin, age, or sex.  In addition, all administrators, faculty, staff, and students share a continuing responsibility to behave in a manner that ensures a work and educational environment that is free of unlawful discrimination.  

If anyone has questions or concerns, please contact the Superintendent, Sam Rotella, directly at (570) 404-1664 or srotella@southerntioga.org.
