CV defends hosting Trump rally

Republican Presidential candidate Donald Trump announced on his website Friday night that he will be making a campaign stop in Cumberland County Monday.

Trump will host a rally at Cumberland Valley High School Monday at 7 p.m. Doors will open at 4 p.m.

Cumberland Valley School District issued a news release this weekend explaining why the district chose to host the campaign stop and acknowledging payment for use of the facilities.

"While we acknowledge that any electoral process often conjures strong feelings by many citizens, it is important to recognize that approval of this tour stop absolutely is not an endorsement of any political party or presidential candidate by the District," the news release reads. "In addition, the campaign will cover all costs associated with rental of the facility. Equally as important to also note is that the event is scheduled to occur on a date in which school is not in session."

"As a public learning institution, our buildings are made available for community purposes, provided that such use does not interfere with the educational program of the schools and that all school district policies are followed," CV's news release reads. "We are very proud of our facilities, which previously have been used for similar events including evening senatorial debates and educational programs hosted by legislators. Additionally, we uphold the electoral process each year when we open the doors to two of our buildings for voters to let their voices be heard.
