Penn Middle School and Harrison Park Elementary in the Penn-Trafford School District will be closed through Friday after students at each school tested positive for the coronavirus.
Students will receive remote instruction during that time.
Penn-Trafford Superintendent Matthew Harris said Monday the closures are in keeping with covid-19 pandemic guidelines set forth by the state health and education departments. The middle school recorded four new cases and Harrison Park had two.
“The number of cases within Westmoreland County is alarming,” said Harris.
