Cumberland Valley School Board offered a public apology and voted to reinstate Maulik Pancholy as a guest speaker a week after the board voted to ban him over his sexuality and anti-bullying advocacy.

Dr. Mike Verber, a Camp Hill area dentist and Republican, mentioned how last week’s vote will hurt the school district’s reputation for years to come.

“As a school board, I think the number one job is to recruit, retain and inspire educators,” Verber said. “We have damaged that forever. Every applicant, forever, will Google us and see this.”
