Crawford, Erie and Warren County School Superintendents Issue Statement on School Closing Due to COVID-19
Please direct inquiries to: Northwest Tri-County Intermediate Unit 5 Dr. Dean Maynard 814-734-8401 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: March 20, 2020 Crawford, Erie and Warren County School Superintendents Issue Statement on School Closing due to COVID-19 “The health, safety and well-being of our students, staff, and community are our top priorities. With the most recent mandate of non-essential business closings (including schools), we continue to reinforce preventive safety measures including social distancing and practicing the recommended safety measures that have previously been shared. Most importantly, it is clear that we all must work together to minimize the spread of this virus.” Governor Wolf’s message: To protect the public from the spread of Coronavirus (COVID‐19), it is necessary that no person or entity shall operate a place of business that is not a life sustaining business regardless of whether the business is open to members of the public. Therefore, under the authority granted to me by law, I hereby order: “No person or entity shall operate a place of business that is not a life sustaining business regardless of whether the business is open to members of the public. This prohibition does not apply to virtual or telework operations (e.g., work from home). Life sustaining businesses may remain open, but they must employ social distancing practices and other mitigation measures defined by the Centers for Disease Control to protect their workers and patrons. “ State Level: We are waiting for further clarity of a possible extension of the status of the school closure. While waiting, school districts will be working with the intermediate unit on K‐12 “continuity of education” plans.
