Superintendent Joseph Guarino said via a letter posted on the district website that the PA Department of Health and the PDE currently recommend that following a second week of similar data within the  substantial level of Covid-19 cases that school districts move to a full virtual educational platform. Guarino went on to say while Beaver County hasn’t reached that rate for two weeks, yet they are expecting it to happen this week.
