Based on the Department of Education’s School Closure Matrix, there is no need to close the Towanda Area Elementary School at this time. TAES currently has 1 positive case that counts towards the 14-day rolling period of the matrix. Classified as a small-sized building, TAES would need to close for a period of time beginning with 2 confirmed cases in the building when Bradford County is in the substantial category.
As a community, the key to our success is to continue working together as we strive to keep our students, faculty, and staff safe and healthy. Thank you again for working collaboratively with the district as we navigate through this public health crisis together. Stay safe and stay healthy.
