Beaver County school districts are within a month or so of their usual return to education for students and administrators alike, but how usual is it going to be?
At the regularly scheduled work session on July 29, the Board of Commissioners spoke about these re-openings amidst the ongoing coronavirus outbreak, and how these administrators are trying to nail down a fluid situation.
“I personally think that the state will come out and say ‘you’re only going to school 50% of the time’ or ‘50% of the students’…whatever it may be,” said Commissioner Chairman Dan Camp. “I think they’re going to get some direction from the state.”
This theory was reiterated by Solicitor Garen Fedeles, who stated that “the state’s mandating them to have a plan in place.” However, Fedeles added that “those plans can be amended at any time by the board.”
Commissioners Tony Amadio & Jack Manning returned to the Courthouse after a few weeks of self-administered quarantine.
