This move has sparked controversy, with local groups and attorneys arguing that it violates the Pennsylvania Sunshine Act, which mandates that government meetings be open to the public. Critics of the policy, including Souderton Area For All and Souderton Area For Responsible Leadership, have protested against this restriction, suggesting that if capacity is an issue, the district should consider relocating meetings to larger venues rather than limiting access. Defenders of the policy, including school board members, assert that it does not contravene state law, emphasizing that the priority given to residents ensures their voices are heard, especially in crowded sessions. However, legal experts and activists maintain that such a policy could set a precedent for excluding the public from government proceedings, potentially contravening transparency laws. The debate reflects broader tensions about community involvement, transparency in governance, and the interpretation of legal statutes concerning public access to governmental functions.
