GES : LMSD Mask Policy Remains In Effect

Press release from Gladwyne Elementary School:

2021-11-11

On Wednesday, Nov. 10, 2021, the Commonwealth Court of Pennsylvania issued a ruling voiding the Acting Health Secretary's school mask order. After the ruling was issued, the Pennsylvania Department of Education announced that the state would be appealing that order on Thursday, Nov. 11, 2021. That appeal triggers a stay of the Court's ruling and keeps the masking order in effect.

The Department of Education stated, "Schools should continue to observe the school masking order throughout the duration of the court's proceedings."

Here in the Lower Merion School District, masks will continue to be required for all students, staff and visitors in LMSD buildings and on LMSD transportation. Masks are required regardless of vaccination status.

The LMSD COVID-19 Health and Safety Plan is accessible on the District website.

Thank you for continued efforts to keep our students, staff and community safe.
