6-18-2020 - Health & Safety Planning Update for 2020-2021 School Year.4-9-2020 - This morning, PDE (PA Department of Education) issued an order under Act 13 of 2020 to close all public schools through the end of the 2019-2020 academic year, as defined by the local school calendar.
Additionally, Governor Wolf is ordering all K-12 schools and programs, public and private, to be closed through the end of the 2019-2020 academic year. Pennsylvania Pre-K Counts, Head Start Supplemental Assistance Programs and Preschool Early Intervention programs will also remain closed, and institutions of higher education are prohibited from offering in-person instruction.
All of these decisions were made in consultation with the Secretary of Health, based on the most recent information regarding COVID-19 as it relates to the health, safety, and welfare of students, school staff, and communities.
While I am sure this announcement may provoke additional questions, it is my hope that this order provides you clarity as you plan the remainder of the school year, and will allow you to redouble the innovative, collaborative work you’ve been doing, recognizing that energies that would be devoted to re-opening schools will need to come later.
More information will follow in the near future.

Everything continues to be fluid at this time. We do not have concrete direction yet from governmental officials that would allow us to make decisions regarding this issue. We will provide updates as soon as more information becomes available.
