Masks in schools, crossing guards in Lower Macungie Township, and the district’s anti-nepotism policy were all topics of last night’s school board meeting.
Optional masking implies we can make personal safety decisions without considering others. But a contagious pandemic doesn’t work that way.

Optional masking next year– and aggressive denouncements of board members- were the main focus of last night’s school board meeting.
