EMMAUS, Pa. â After a lengthy discussion, the East Penn Board of School Directors on Monday night voted to move the district to fully remote instruction from Wednesday, Dec. 16 through Jan. 11.
The board voted 6-3, with board President Ken Bacher and board members Jeffrey Jankowski and Allan Byrd dissenting.
East Penn took a similar measure to move from hybrid to remote instruction for a limited time after its Thanksgiving break.
With surging numbers of COVID-19 cases, the majority of the board members who supported the motion felt the temporary return to remote instruction until Jan. 11 â the next time the board meets â would be the most prudent course of action.
