The region weathered its first major snowstorm Wednesday but total snowfall for the area was predicted to fall into distinct zones. Predicted accumulations for Western Montgomery, Northern Chester and Berks counties were tagged for a total between 12 and 18 inches. Areas closer to Philadelphia were forecast to get between 6-8 inches. But that forecast did not daunt 3-year-old Myriam Vas who was out in front of her house on North Hanover Street in Pottstown showing off her shoveling skills.
NORRISTOWN â A group of parents has gone to court to challenge the Hatboro-Horsham School Districtâs decision to currently offer only virtual instruction for students and they also are calling for a judge to remove five school board members.
Thirteen parents, who listed addresses in Hatboro, Chalfont, Ambler, Maple Glen and Horsham, are listed as plaintiffs in the lawsuit filed this week in Montgomery County Court. The suit, which seeks the resumption of in-person classes, was filed against the school district and school board President Jennifer Wilson and fellow board members Susan E. Hunsinger-Hoff, Theresa E. Brown, David P. Brown and Denise J. Schultz.
A group of 13 Hatboro-Horsham School District parents has filed a lawsuit against the district and five school board members over the lack of an in-person instructional choice.
The district had started a hybrid option for a brief time but stopped when Montgomery County ordered a two-week return to all-virtual instruction at all county schools Nov. 23. Hatboro-Horsham currently is offering only all-remote instruction and is not scheduled to add hybrid back in until Jan. 11.
Hybrid is a mix of classroom and remote instruction.
The lawsuit filed in Montgomery County Court names the district, school board President Jennifer Wilson and fellow board members Susan Hunsinger-Hoff, Theresa Brown, David Brown and Denise Schultz as defendants.
