When: Elizabethtown Area school board meeting, May 11, via Zoom.
What happened: The public was asked the question, âWhat are some of the âsilver liningsâ or positives that have emerged from the pandemic that you would like the Elizabethtown Area School District to carry over into the next school year?â Within four minutes, 49 people had weighed in, and those responses received over 900 ratings by the participants. This rapid, voluminous exchange happened because of a crowd-sourcing platform called ThoughtExchange. The two top-rated answers were a âbig thank youâ to educators and school staff for helping students succeed and to continue holding school board meetings remotely.
A Mount Joy Township husband and wife who have falsely claimed the 2020 presidential election was rigged and spread misinformation about COVID-19 are seeking election to offices that could give them a direct role in managing public schools and administering elections.
Republicans Danielle Lindemuth, 45, and Stephen Lindemuth, 48, who also are outspoken critics of race-related content taught by Elizabethtown Area School District to their ninth-grade daughter, are candidates for the Elizabethtown Area school board on the Republican ballot in the May 18 primary.
In addition, Stephen Lindemuth is seeking the judge of elections post in Mount Joy Townshipâs Hershey Road district, a position responsible for running the precinctâs polling place on Election Day. If elected to both offices, Stephen Lindemuth would have to choose one, as state law prohibits a person from serving in both simultaneously.

Elizabethtown Area School District students in grades seven through 12 will learn remotely for the remainder of the week because of a spike in confirmed COVID-19 cases at the districtâs high school and middle school, the district announced Wednesday.
The announcement comes a week following a return to full-time in-person instruction for secondary school students who spent most of the school year in a blended model with both in-person and online learning.Â
âThe secondary school complex will be closed through the weekend to undergo a deep cleaning,â district Superintendent Michele Balliet said in a letter to families. âWe anticipate that students and staff will return to in-person instruction on Monday, April 19.â
