When: Manheim Central school board meeting, Feb. 22. What happened: The board heard from nearly two dozen parents concerned about abrupt closures of school buildings due to COVID-19 infections or probable infections and the effect the shift to virtual learning has had on their children. The emails from parents were read during the virtual meeting. Why it’s important: During a Dec. 1 meeting, the school board set the number of positive and probable COVID-19 cases required to close individual schools. Baron Elementary would close if there were two positive or probable COVID-19 cases; Doe Run would close with four cases; both the middle and high schools would close if there were six cases. The numbers were based on a matrix from the state departments of health and education. The state Department of Health recently issued new guidance.
