JACKSON TWP —While the Seneca Valley School Board will vote next week on the district's health and safety plan for the upcoming school year, the uncertainty from last year has made a comeback.

The current, but tentative, proposed health and safety plan for Seneca Valley includes optional masks, the prioritization of outdoor spaces and frequent replacement of heating, ventilation and air conditioning filters in the district's buildings. But, like during the 2020-21 school year's proposed plans, it is not set in stone.

“This is a living document,” said board president Eric DiTullio. “I guarantee you this will change over the course of the next 12 months, because we don't know what's going to happen. All of our crystal balls broke a long time ago.”

The board did not vote on the proposal during Monday's work session meeting, a task they will take up next week.
