The increase of Covid-19 cases across the region was discussed Thursday night at the Penns Manor School Board meeting.
Before last night’s meeting, Superintendent Daren Johnston announced in a letter posted to the district website that another case of Covid-19 was reported in a high school employee. That employee has not been at the district since November 6th and has not had contact with anyone in the school community.
Johnston said during the meeting that the district has seen a marked increase in the number of Covid-19 cases since the start of November that has resulted in the quarantine of students at both the high school and elementary school. He said that the administration prefers face-to-face instruction for several reasons, and will continue with that model for now, but he did caution parents to be ready in case things change.
Johnston also thanked the parents for keeping the district in the loop when it comes to Coronavirus cases, saying the district sometimes hears from the parents before the PA Department of Health contacts the district.
In other business, the board approved a contract with Builder’s Hardware at a cost of $6281.50 to replace three door frames and doors within the district.
