Board to Endorse State-Level Lobbying Slate
The board is voting to approve the slate of officers for the Pennsylvania School Board Association (PSBA). This uses the district’s official position to endorse a lobbying platform that includes controversial topics like “cyber charter reform” and expanding “mental health supports for schools,” using taxpayer-funded dues to influence state legislation.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND LOCAL FOCUS: Email the Board Secretary at boardsecretary@mtwp.net: ‘Regarding Item 3.C, the Board should focus on Manheim Township, not on endorsing the political platform of the PSBA’s officer slate. Please vote NO on approving this slate and keep our district’s resources focused on our own students.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Taxpayer-Funded Lobbying

New “Social Media Literacy” Curriculum Mandate
The board is adding a “social media literacy” requirement to its Academic Standards policy. While this sounds neutral, it creates a new opening for ideologically biased vendors and curriculum to be introduced under the guise of teaching students about “misinformation” or online safety.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND CURRICULUM REVIEW: Email the Board Secretary at boardsecretary@mtwp.net: ‘Regarding the First Reading of Policy 102 (Item 3.E), which curriculum and vendors will be used to teach “social media literacy”? Parents have a right to review all materials to ensure they are politically neutral before this policy is finalized.’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Ideological ‘Fact-Checking’ in Class

On-Campus ‘Wellness’ Clinic for Staff
The district is presenting its partnership with Penn Medicine for an on-campus “HealthWorks” clinic. While currently for employees only, it provides primary care and “counseling services” and is located on an elementary school campus, creating a risk of future expansion to students without parental consent.
Recommended Action Plan
ASK FOR A GUARDRAIL: Email the Board Secretary at boardsecretary@mtwp.net: ‘Regarding the HealthWorks presentation (Item 2.B), to ensure parental rights are protected, will the Board commit publicly that this on-campus clinic’s services will never be expanded to students without explicit, opt-in parental consent for every visit?’
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Future Student Access Without Consent

Field Trip Organized with Student Affinity Group
The district is approving an out-of-state field trip to Washington, D.C. for several classes and the “Black Student Union.” While the destinations are national museums, the inclusion of a school-sponsored, identity-based “Affinity Group” in official travel promotes the segmentation of students by race.
Recommended Action Plan
MONITOR: This trip (Item 3.D) includes an identity-based ‘Affinity Group.’ While the trip itself is educational, keep an eye on the growing role and funding of such groups, which can divide students rather than unite them. No immediate action required.
💰 Taxpayer Impact: Student Segmentation by Race
