WEST CHESTER, PA The public comment period in possibly every school board meeting in Pennsylvania includes statements from parents who want their children back in brick and mortar classrooms, receiving face-to-face instruction.
School administrators, including West Chester Area School District s superintendent, usually express agreement that they also want students back in classrooms full time, but that they are following health department guidance and must find ways to follow that guidance while continuing to educate students. Those same meetings also regularly include comments from parents who thank school administrators for handling the pandemic as well as they have, and who see remote or hybrid instruction as necessary for public health.
