Earlier this afternoon, Commonwealth Court Judge Christine Fizzano Cannon ruled to overturn the Order of the Acting Secretary of the Pennsylvania Department of Health on Face Coverings in Public School Entities. The District responded accordingly and notified stakeholders that masking while indoors at school was optional and no longer required.
Within hours of the decision, Judge Cannon’s ruling was placed on hold as an appeal was filed to the state Supreme Court. As a result, the Order remains in effect and masks continue to be required while indoors in public school entities pending proceedings before the Pennsylvania Supreme Court.
We appreciate your continued patience and support in this matter.
