BOARD OF SCHOOL DIRECTORS’ VOTING MEETING Monday, March 2, 2026 — 7:00 PM Administration Building Board Room 10 S Waverly St, Shillington, PA 19607 Makeup for the previously postponed meeting Monday night’s meeting carries unusual weight. This is a rescheduled voting session — the board will take binding action on items that were previously delayed. Residents on multiple sides of a contentious issue are expected to show up and be heard. THE CENTRAL ISSUE: STUDENT WALKOUTS The Governor Mifflin student walkouts have drawn a community response. Residents are expected to attend Monday night both in support of students’ right to express themselves and in opposition to what some see as school-facilitated political activity. “The school’s job is not to teach our children how to protest.” — Community member, circulating ahead of Monday night’s meeting That sentiment is being countered by others who argue that student expression — including organized demonstration — is a constitutionally protected right, and that the district’s response to the walkouts raises its own governance questions. Both perspectives deserve a seat at the table Monday night. The board must hear from residents across the spectrum — and then govern accordingly.
