The Academic & Extra-Curricular Committee of the Indiana Area School Board is scheduled to meet tonight and among the wide-ranging agenda items is a review of the district’s Health & Safety Plan, which is good timing coming in the wake of Friday’s cancellation of all extracurricular activities over the weekend because of covid-19.
The district is currently using all remote education on Fridays, so maintenance staff had a chance to give the buildings a through cleansing over the weekend.
Friday’s decision at Indiana came as Indiana Area and several others Indiana County school districts concluded a week that saw an uptick in covid-19 restrictions. Penns Manor, Purchase Line, and United all reported new cases during the week, and Purchase Line reported two more cases yesterday. Everyone who had contact with the infected students has been notified that they need to quarantine and there are no changes in classes there today. The topic will likely come up for discussion tonight as the Purchase Line School Board holds a work session.
