MONTGOMERY COUNTY, Pa. — Students in the Lower Merion School District won’t go back to class on Monday, according to a letter from the district’s superintendent.

The CDC and the MCOPH issued new guidance regarding isolation/quarantine periods and reporting. The details on how schools will be required to report are not yet available, but the guidance does rely on accurate reporting of symptoms, testing opportunities and universal masking. Assess our ability to staff schools and decide which schools, if any, may need to go virtual based on safety/supervision needs, taking into account staff who are currently in isolation/quarantine or who may need to do so.Update all nursing staff regarding the new reporting, quarantine/isolation guidelines and their role in managing the increased volume of questions and contact-tracing due to the current surge.
