The Indiana Area School District says it has been notified of positive covid-19 tests for a student-teacher at the high school, and for a student-athlete on the boys’ basketball team.
Superintendent Mike Vuckovich says that typically, both would be counted toward the rolling 14-day count, but because of Monday’s school cancellation, combined with the previous weekend’s cleaning and contact protocols, there are still no active cases that apply to the count. Vuckovich adds that because Indiana County is in the “moderate” phase, the district’s attestation does not apply to its case counts, and therefore the school can remain open.
The Penns Manor School District has reported a new student case of Covid-19. In an announcement posted to its Web site, the Penns Manor School Distric.

The Indiana Area School District yesterday reported that a Senior High School staff member has tested positive for covid-19, and one student and two other staff members are being quarantined as a result. With two active cases on its rolling 14-day count, the Senior High will remain open under the current protocols.
The district’s previously-reported case at the Senior High will be removed from the rolling count on Saturday. A case at the Junior High is scheduled to be removed on Friday.
Penns Manor reports a high school student and a school employee have both tested positive. The student has not been in school since last Thursday, and the employee has not been at work since last Friday. The district has worked with the Department of Health to identify and notify individuals who were in contact with both. It has not said if others are in quarantine.

Just as the Indiana Area School District’s coronavirus situation appeared to be getting healthier, the district reported new case notifications yesterday.
A student at the Senior High School has tested positive, and so has a staff member at the Junior High. Those two cases will apply to the rolling 14-day count at each school building, but they are the only two cases on each building’s count.
The high school student was at the school and contagious last Thursday and Friday. Contact tracing established that other students were in class with the infected student, but were masked, distanced, and never within six feet of the student for more than fifteen 15 minutes.
