The president of Pennsylvania’s largest teachers union expressed support Monday for in-person instruction in the fall, calling it a “top priority” now that many teachers have been vaccinated and older children have become eligible for the COVID-19 shot.
“As more students are vaccinated over the summer, we believe that in-person instruction is achievable in a way that keeps everyone safe,” said Rich Askey, president of the Pennsylvania State Education Association, which represents 178,000 active and retired educators, health care workers and others.
“Educators and support professionals look forward to working with school district leaders, parents, and community members to get students on a pathway to achievement as we emerge from this pandemic, he said.

BEAVER FALLS – While students at the Blackhawk School District are itching to get out of school for the summer, a number of their parents and neighbors are competing to get into it.
Municipal primary elections are scheduled for May 18 and all three of the regional races for Blackhawk School Board director are going to be tight, with every candidate running as both a Democrat and Republican.
Region 1
Two candidates are running for one, four-year seat as Blackhawk School Board director for Region 1. Incumbent Neil Morrison, the current school board president, is facing newcomer Lynn Kalcevic in the race.
Morrison, 63, of South Beaver Township, said he has a proven record of serving the district and wants a chance to continue that.
