School Board Update 3/19/21

Update from the Board of School Directors Meeting held March 18, 2021

 

Please join us in congratulating long-time North Penn staffer Dr. D'Ana Waters, our newly appointed assistant superintendent by the NPSD Board of School Directors at last night’s action meeting! Learn more about Dr. Waters.

The Board of School Directors also issued a statement in support of Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders (AAPI) in response to the alarming number of attacks of violence against the AAPI community. Read the statement.

Also at last night’s meeting, the Board of School Directors voted unanimously to revise the NPSD Health and Safety Plan. The change outlines that NPSD will continue to utilize health and safety mitigation measures while social distancing to the greatest extent possible. As NPSD processes requests to return to in person instruction, we will continue to maintain six feet of social distancing to the greatest extent possible, however in some classrooms students may be seated at a distance between three and six feet. The six foot guideline will remain in place in the cafeteria when students are unmasked to eat. The timeline for these adjustments will allow additional elementary age students to return to 5 day instruction effective March 29 and all other students by April 19.
