Parkland board approves COVID-19 health and safety plan for 20242025 and authorizes superintendent to update as needed
Summary
The board voted to approve the Parkland School District27s health and safety plan for the 20242025 school year and authorized the superintendent to make revisions in response to changing federal, state or local guidance, submitting the plan to PDE before the school year begins.
The Parkland School Board on Aug. 20 approved the district27s 20242025 health and safety plan for in-person instruction and directed the superintendent to submit the plan to the Pennsylvania Department of Education prior to the start of the school year.
Board discussion noted that the plan takes federal and state guidance into account and that it will be updated and posted to the district website if requirements change. The board first accepted the administration27s recommendation and then adopted a motion authorizing the superintendent "to implement changes to the plan as necessary and thereafter submit a revised plan for review and approval by the school board," language recorded in the meeting minutes. The motion carried on a voice vote.
Administrators told the board the plan will be signed by the board president and that community guidance and input are part of the process. The board did not record a roll-call tally in the minutes excerpted in the meeting transcript; the motion was carried by voice vote with no recorded opposition.
The approved plan will govern in-person instruction at the start of the 20242025 school year; administrators said any future modifications driven by federal, state or local mandates will be implemented by the superintendent and returned to the board for review as required.
