The MHS Board continues to place non-child whims above the Hershey Trust’s child-saving mission.
For example, in 2005, a luxury golf course regularly visited by MHS Board members and the school president became insolvent. The MHS Board used childcare money to buy it out of insolvency and renovate its clubhouse, even though MHS children are barred from setting foot on it! The “reason” given was to create a “buffer” between MHS children and the community!
Another money-losing local golf course is being financially supported at $300,000 a year! Our point: the MHS Board shows more interest in saving local golf courses than saving needy children!
$2,000,000 has also been funneled through controlled companies to the Hershey Medical Center, for a new addition, while $60,000,000 was spent on renovations of a local luxury hotel!
This is all despite claims that the MHS Board “does not have enough money” to keep promises to increase enrollment and serve more poor children—children who have no interest in a ritzy golf course or a luxury hotel!
