OSBORNE Osborne Elementary School, part of the Quaker Valley School District, will not close despite confirming another positive case of COVID-19 in the building.
The district was notified of a second positive case at the school on Thursday, bringing the number of cases in the elementary school s rolling 14-day average to two. Though the Pennsylvania Department of Education recommends small schools like Osborne alter their instruction models when the 14-day average falls between two and four, after district leaders consulted with the Allegheny County Health Department, they made the decision to keep the building open and continue the blended learning model.
U.S. Rep. Cedric Richmond made the announcement at the New Orleans Lakefront Airport on Tuesday(Nov. 17) that he will leave his seat in Congre…
Richmond, 47, was long seen as a favorite for a top job under Biden. He was a prominent early backer of Biden s presidential bid, signing on as a national co-chair of the campaign in May 2019, and he barnstormed the country to promote Biden even when the former vice president s chances appeared to be slipping away early in the Democratic primaries. Richmond now co-chairs Biden s transition team.
Nonetheless, Richmond described leaving the 2nd Congressional District seat for a White House job as one of the hardest decisions I ve made in my life. He said he thought the post advising the president would let him better use his influence to help Louisiana and the country.
