On April 27, 2021 Joel Sears, York Suburban School District Treasury, spoke at our weekly meeting. Joel reviewed the impact the Covid 19 pandemic has had on our economy and education. School Boards became public health officials deciding on what educational model to use. York Suburban employed a hybrid model of on line and in-person learning, neighboring Central York offered five days a week in school, while York City only offered on line learning until recently. There were huge disruptions in the supply change, staffing shortages and school closures with insufficient financial support. The ripple effect of the Covid 19 pandemic is broad and will be here for a very long time. |
