School Board Faces Backlash Over Controversial Lunch Schedule
In a recent school board meeting, members unanimously approved a series of agenda items, including the election of Neha as the representative for the Pennsylvania State School Board Association (PSBA). The motion passed with an 8-0 vote, reflecting a cohesive decision-making process among board members.

The meeting also featured public comments, with Amanda Tatum, a resident from Willistown, raising concerns about the middle school lunch schedule. Tatum argued that the current arrangement unfairly isolates a minority of students on team D, while allowing the majority to eat with their grade level. She emphasized the critical nature of middle school for social development and warned that the separation could lead to increased social anxiety and feelings of exclusion among affected students.

Tatum urged the school board to reconsider the lunch schedule, highlighting the potential negative impact on students' well-being and social dynamics. The board acknowledged her concerns but did not provide immediate feedback during the meeting.

The session concluded with a motion to adjourn, which also passed unanimously, marking the end of a productive evening focused on student welfare and administrative responsibilities.
