Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania — A letter written by a concerned parent is bringing attention to the need for a school district policy to dictate the use of bathrooms by transgender boys in the Cumberland Valley School District. Boys are allegedly entering the girls bathrooms and locker rooms in the school district when females are using the restroom.
Having no policy to address this issue is harming innocent girls, and creating confusion and distractions for students as well as legal exposure for the district.
The letter states:
Cumberland Valley School District Board of School Directors
6746 Carlisle Pike
Mechanicsburg, PA 17050March 16, 2026
Re: No Written Policy Regarding Gender-Related Bathrooms or Athletics
Currently, Cumberland Valley School District has no written standard or consistent policy regarding gender-related bathrooms or athletics. This is leading to biological boys using girl’s bathrooms in some of the district’s schools resulting in confusion and concern. There in no local policy to enforce one way or the other.
If it is the district administration’s desire to not separate the bathrooms by birth biological sex, then it should be made a district policy by the school board.
Whether you agree or disagree with boys who identify as girls using the girl’s bathroom or locker room, students and parents deserve consistency and clarification. With no written CV policy we have confusion and significant concern.
In addition, possible lawsuits could be filed from either side of this issue due to this not being ignored and not addressed consistently and with transparently.
The CVSD Board of Directors needs to make a choice and a formal policy now.
Thank you for your attention to this matter,
Jason Snyder

There is a policy otherwise the building would not have been built with a men’s and women’s restroom. This is a common sense issue that only brainwashed people would believe it’s OK for a men to go into a woman’s bathroom and vice versa. Indoctrination over years and years confuses people as to what a very common sense issue is.
The problem is, administrators, being confused and pander to those folks that are mentally troubled instead of giving them the mental help they need, as a result of administrators being confused and allowing this to happen, they are showing no empathy or care at all for the 99% of women that are not mentally troubled, and they are made to have lifelong effects of having to know that they’re not protected in a female bathroom, lol

I have been speaking about this for almost 2 years now. Just last month I asked the policy committee to work on this. It is needed. It is a fact we have male, female, transgender students and students who identify as animals. There is no policy.
What locker room do these students use? What bathroom? We have students who “identify” as another gender when they are in school and the parents have no idea. It is crazy what is going on with students. We need policies for everything these days because there is no common sense. We needed an AI policy according to Dr. Blanchard because “with out a policy there is no impetus to develop administrative regulations. Policy provides the general framework that outlines the development of the administrative regulations. We must start with the policy to drive the regulations.”
They pushed the AI policy through right away yet there is still no policy on bathrooms, locker rooms or even sports. A policy establishes exactly what a public school must have. Policies remove all bias. A conservative approach does not mean “no policy”. A conservative approach means establishing boundaries and that is what we are asking for. Without guidelines …There is no guidance. A policy will ensure transparency. Concerns are already happening. We (and the school board!) have a duty to protect student privacy without bias and support teachers with clear administrative regulations.
We have an issue already, which is why we need a policy. I can’t even believe this has to be an issue in a school district. Protect the students–ALL of them!!

The book contains very explicit, graphic, and disturbing descriptions of sexual violence. The novel uses graphic descriptions of sexual situations to portray trauma, power dynamics, or the darker side of human relationships. Depict the ongoing incest and sexual abuse Precious suffers at the hands of her father.” …and that is the clean stuff!

The absolute worse “complaints” are still in the “etc.” group. The administration has made a false assumption that the only people complaining are the same 4 or 5. That couldn’t be further from the truth. I’m part of the silent majority of parents that has thoroughly questioned these individuals and done my own due diligence and discovered far worse financial, discrimination, sexual, and unethical behavior either ignored, swept under the rug, or victimizing the actual victim. Many of us through sheer determination have been coming together to expose the failure of this administration and several board members. Have you ever thought about what your mission is….to educate our children in a safe environment. Instead, many in leadership have viewed our children as nothing more than lab rats existing for our perverted ideals, morals, and values. Do the right thing or go find some other occupation where children are not involved.

A CV parent who posted on Harrisburg100 Facebook summed it up best publicly:
Kevin Wormser:
“Yesterday I spoke with two leaders. Two completely different answers.
One says bathrooms and locker rooms are gender-specific.
Another says there’s no policy—and students can use whichever they want unless someone complains.
Think about that.
That means action only comes after something happens. After a complaint. After a problem.
My daughter has already experienced biological males in the girls’ bathroom. And instead of clear policies that protect privacy and safety, we get confusion, silence, and “we’ll deal with it if there’s a complaint.”
That’s not a policy. That’s a failure.
We’re spending taxpayer dollars on new construction—including gender-neutral bathrooms—yet still can’t establish clear, enforceable rules to protect our kids in the spaces where they’re most vulnerable.
And now our daughters are being told this is normal… that they should just accept it.
I don’t accept it.
This isn’t political. It’s about boundaries. Privacy. Safety.

I’m sure Superintendent Blanchard and Board President Michell Nestor will come out and gaslight Mr. Wormser and blame him for spreading fake news (Nestor’s favorite narrative) and Blanchard will accuse his daughter of lying. And if that doesn’t shut up Mr. Wormser, Blanchard will personally weight in with a heavy-handed email (confirmed by other parent interactions), and if Mr. Wormser doesn’t go away, Blanchard and Nestor will pay $100K for a non-independent investigation using McNess law firm again, come up with no findings, won’t release any recommendations (as in the $100K faux cheerleading investigation), and publicly try to shame Mr. Wormser. Blanchard and Nestor may even resort to dragging our Mike Verber’s CV Cures #1 Educational Advisor, former CV Board President Heather Dunn who will shuffle up to the podium, gaslight Mr. Wormser, say he is just mimicking the usual crowd…and she may even turn around to him (as she did on video to Mr. Snyder) and tell him to “shut the hell up”…them she may even have the CV Cures “bird flipper” Herbert…come out to flip him off.
So, this is the the type of leaders CV is stuck with. Parents need to come out to board meeting and speak the truth about what is actually going on in the school buildings. Talk to your kids and ask the hard questions. I’ve discussed many of these issues with “that group” Blanchard and Nestor despise for uncovering “truths” via Right to Know Requests (that are hated by Blanchard and Nestor) because it exposes the truth in their OWN WORDS and ACTIONS. Finally, we have that new board member Mike O’brien, the same one that lost in a DEM primary to unseat Scott Perry…and who is only using this past election to win a CV board seat as stepping stone to higher office. Don’t be surprised when he announces he will resign before the end of his 4 year term. What was his first action. On Jan 9th, he personally initiated his plan to reduce free speech by eliminating the 2nd public comment period during board meetings. So much for transparency Mr. O’Brien. Smooth talking and superficial “caring” and “empathy” for students only goes so far. But don’t worry, I’ve been informed (by “that group”) and verified numerous scandals in the Athletic Department and Sponsorship Committees.
