From Associated Press, Capitolwire reports HARRISBURG The issues surrounding the return of elementary and secondary schools to regular in-person education amid the COVID-19 pandemic were the subject of a House Education Committee meeting Tuesday. Two state Education Department officials and education leaders fielded questions from lawmakers about changing guidance from Washington about resuming in-person instruction and scheduling the Keystone Exam and Pennsylvania System of School Assessment. But on Wednesday, the chairs of Pennsylvania’s state Senate Education Committee asked the Biden administration to waive this year’s requirement for school standardized testing because of the pandemic. State Sens. Lindsey Williams, D-Allegheny, and Scott Martin, R-Lancaster, wrote in a letter that they understood the need to find out how much learning and what kind of learning children missed during the pandemic.
