LEHIGHTON, Pa. On a hot summer day, the last thing many parents and students at Baer Memorial Pool in Lehighton are thinking about is the start of the school year.

I will say that our administration, our nurses, and everything else have been working really hard with trying to keep everything as close to normal as well can as possible, especially preparing for the upcoming school year, said Lehighton Area Superintendent Jonathan Cleaver.
