The Trinity Area School District made changes to the current health and safety plan. In its planning session on Thursday, board members authorized the superintendent to switch learning models from the current full time model to either a hybrid or fully remote learning module if any or all buildings were to be mandated closed by the Pennsylvania Department of Health, the governor or Pennsylvania Department of Education. Covid-19 cases are continuing to rise but according to Assistant Superintendent Dr. Donald Snoke, case numbers in Trinity buildings have not forced any closures yet. This authorization allows Superintendent Dr. Michael Lucas to close buildings without a school board vote should such a mandate be issued or if a lack of staff requires a building to close. Snoke is confident that if any building was to close, they are prepared to go to an online learning system with all students, kindergarten through grade 12 already in possession of computers to learn without missing a day of classes.
