When: Cocalico school board meeting, May 24.
What happened: During the final meeting of the 2020-21 school year, the board discussed changes to the coronavirus safety guidance in terms of masking and capacity limits. The Rev. Kevin Eshleman, board president, acknowledged many people are frustrated with the protocols. While it remains a strong desire of the district to return to normal, he said, the district will âstay the courseâ for mask-wearing through the last day of school. Because of the updated capacity guidelines, students can now invite family members to attend an in-person awards ceremony.
Quotable: âWe are grateful for all those who have made five-day instruction work well,â Eshleman said. âWe acknowledge that it has been very difficult. It really is the community working together.â
