We would like to inform you of a very serious development regarding vaping in Pennsylvania. It was recently discovered that some vapes may be laced with Fentanyl, Xylazine/Tranq, or in some cases Heroin.

There was an accident on Route 1 between Stoney Bank and Valleybrook Roads. Currently, the district transportation fleet has no access to Walnut Hill, Brandywine Circle, Lydia Hollow, or Bonnie Lane.

Effective February 25, 2022, CDC does not require wearing of masks on buses or vans operated by public or private school systems, including early care and education/child care programs."

Late yesterday afternoon, the Commonwealth Court filed an opinion that lifted the stay that was in place on the mask mandate for K-12 schools effective December 4, 2021. However…

The Acting Secretary of Health’s mask mandate would remain in effect until one of two things happens: (1) either the mandate expires, as it does on 1-17-22, or (2) the Pennsylvania Supreme Court rules on the issue prior to that date.
