Members of the Fairfield Area School District Community:
The timing of the Department of Health’s order requiring masks in schools is unfortunate, creating undue stress for schools already facing unprecedented challenges in opening school this year. The FASD board has been in constant communication with the Administration and our Solicitor to understand issues the community and the Board have raised. The message from the community, to return students to full-time, in-person, learning has remained our top priority as a board. This priority does not come without challenges. Our goal is to ensure students attend in-person, safely, and with minimal disruptions to their routine caused by illness and/or quarantine of students and staff. We are unified in following the new law with constant focus on achieving and maintaining in-person learning for all students. As was stated upon the approval of FASD’s health and safety plan, we move forward with the understanding that the State of Pennsylvania may enact new guidelines and restrictions based on their data. We fully respect and understand the vastly different viewpoints on this mandate, and that state level mandates remain in the hands of the state. Rest assured; our goal is to keep your children learning inside our buildings.
