ADAMS TWP — Mars Area School District may pursue litigation against Pennsylvania Department of Education guidelines for teacher training.

“Basically, there’re nine competencies that we’re supposed to be training on,” superintendent Mark Gross said during Tuesday’s Board of Education meeting. “Some thought that training oversteps to the point of possibility violating constitutionality.”

The Culturally-Relevant and Sustaining Education, or CR-SE, Program Framework Guidelines require that nine competencies related to cultural perspective and bias be integrated into new and existing teacher training, according to the state’s Department of Education website.
