Salisbury Township superintendent and board member urge residents to lobby Harrisburg for school funding
Summary
Superintendent Lynn Feeney Hetton and board member Sarah Nemitz hosted a webinar urging Salisbury Township residents to contact state legislators about school funding, outlining district budget pressures — including $3 million in cyber charter tuition and $700,000 in transportation costs — and offering a sample letter and help signing up for an advocacy day on May 8.
Superintendent Lynn Feeney Hetton and school board member Sarah Nemitz urged Salisbury Township residents to contact state lawmakers to support school funding during a webinar the district streamed and archived online.
Hetton said the session was designed to “share your story with Salisbury” and equip residents with practical steps for reaching legislators in Harrisburg. “The purpose of this conversation today is really to talk to you about the importance of advocacy on behalf of Salisbury Township School District,” she said.
The webinar laid out a three-step approach: connect with your legislators, prepare to engage, and craft a concise message. Nemitz explained residents should first confirm voter registration, then find which state representative and senator represent their address and note committee assignments, especially Education and Appropriations, to target outreach.
