Northern Lehigh School District’s existing health and safety plan will remain in effect for the 2022-2023 school year.

Superintendent Matthew J. Link briefly discussed the status of the district’s health and safety plan with the school board on Monday.

“As we enter the new school year, administration is not making any recommended changes to our health and safety plan,” Link said. “The plan as last reviewed on June 13, 2022, will continue into the 2022-2023 school year.

“So that will mean masks are optional. We’re still going to do quarantines as recommended by quarantines and isolations as recommended by the Department of Health and it’s reflected in our current health and safety plan.”
