Editor s note: This story has been corrected to clarify Millcreek School Board s position on renovation funding and has been updated to include the latest school district votes on the Erie County Technical School renovations resolution.
The Millcreek Township School District is standing alone in its fight to change the way that local school districts pay for improvements to the Erie County Technical School.
Ten of the 11 Erie County school districts that send students to the technical school have voted to move forward with the school s planned $27,775,000 renovation project and to pay their share of that cost based on the current funding agreement.
As COVID-19 cases in Erie County continue to increase, so does the number of local schools switching to remote-only learning as a result.
Here s a look at which schools are closed for in-person instruction and which are open, based on information available Friday afternoon:
• The Erie School District, the region s largest school district with 11,000 students, will continue remote learning for middle and high school students into early 2021.
The district s elementary school students are also learning remotely, at least through the end of December. Elementary students could resume in-person classes, with hybrid instruction, once the number of COVID-19 cases in Erie County declines to levels the district administration and Erie School Board consider acceptable under state guidelines.
