Two school districts in Indiana County have reported new cases of Covid-19 on Wednesday.
The Purchase Line School District has reported another two positive cases of Covid-19, along with two probable cases at the junior/senior high school and two additional probable cases at the Elementary School. Because of this, both school buildings will be closed today through Sunday, May 9th, with no tutoring, extra-curricular activities or athletics during that time. Students will be taught today and tomorrow through remote learning, and students are expected to return to in-person instruction on Monday, May 10th.
Another school district that is reporting a Covid-19 case is the United School District, which notified parents through a letter posted to the district’s Facebook page. It said a second-grade student at United’s Elementary School had contracted the virus. Cleaning and disinfecting of the exposed location has already taken place, and that student is self-isolating at home. The district is working with the PA Department of Health for identify and notify close contacts.
