As new covid cases continue to drop in Westmoreland County and it appears a post-holiday coronavirus spike has been dodged, several area school districts have brought students back to classrooms with more planning such a return.
Students at Greater Latrobe, Jeannette and Yough have returned to school after using a hybrid model, or a mix of in-class and remote instruction, since the beginning of the year. Other districts including Hempfield Area, Ligonier Valley, Norwin and Penn-Trafford are making plans to get students back to their desks more than two days a week.

Laurel: To serving your neighbors. It’s hard to find people to step up when it comes to public service. Everyone wants to blame the people who make the decisions regardless of the level of government. Local leaders don’t get the same kind of paycheck that state or federal officials do. Meetings are boring and time-consuming.
So municipalities can have trouble with engagement. The smaller the area, the harder it can be.
So the idea of participating at all is commendable. Doing it regularly is noteworthy. Doing it for 24 years is amazing. Ross G. Walker III has done just that. For 23 of those years, he has chaired the Upper Burrell Board of Supervisors.
