NORRISTOWN, Pa. —
Gov. Tom Wolf held a news conference Wednesday afternoon at Hancock Elementary School in the Norristown Area School District about getting back to school safely amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
"Back to school is an exciting time as many of our teachers and students return to the classroom fulltime," said Gov. Wolf in a prepared statement. "Our goal this year is not just to start the year with kids in school, but to keep them in school all year long. Research shows that learning in a classroom is important, because many students learn better in a classroom.
"But being in school is just as important for the social, emotional and physical well-being of young students. Our kids want to see their friends again, they want to play sports and participate in the activities that help them build skills and connect to their peers. That’s why we want to keep kids in school this year."
Wolf laid out four key resources that he said would "help schools and protect communities." They were:
Requiring masks to be worn inside K-12 school buildings, early learning programs and child care providers starting Sept. 7 through an Order signed by acting Secretary of Health Alison Beam. The order reduces the risk that entire classrooms will need to quarantine, which means fewer disruptions to students. A series of answers to frequently asked questions about the order is online.
Requiring vaccine providers to coordinate vaccine clinics with schools and institutions of higher education through an order by the acting Secretary of Health. Vaccine providers are expected to make every effort to coordinate a vaccine clinic for the employees, contractors, volunteers, students or students’ families of the school, at the request of schools.
Free, weekly COVID-19 testing for participating K-12 schools through a partnership with Ginkgo. The pooled testing initiative will help to identify and prevent the spread of COVID-19 throughout the schools.
$4.9 billion in one-time funding for safe schools through the federal American Rescue Plan, which school districts can use to support the long-term work of education recovery and provide safe environments for students and school staff.

The human beings in Norristown are far worse than Covid.

I hope more and more people homeschool or use private schooling options.
This has to be messing up the minds of children.
Hell, I’m mid 40’s and it gets to me.
It’s antisocial, dehumanizing crap.
Nothing teaches slaves how to obey more than masks.
It is child abuse.
Home schooling bump.
Masks are:
1) a sign of submission, subversion and subjugation
2) mandated in order to dehumanize
3) virtue signaling devices
4) meant to provide constant reinforcement of fear
5) used to destroy community, friends and family normal communication
6) implemented to create isolation, confusion, anxiety, destroy human connectivity, trust and interactions
7) mandated to exacerbate illness
8) intended to aid in the abandonment of the belief and reliance on our immune systems
9) intended to refute integrous science
10) signal to positions of power that you are willing to give up all of your rights and freedoms based on anything they say, even if it is a BIG FAT LIE!
All of us need to go to our school board meetings. We’re going Monday. Last month a parent was escorted out by police. Our board is arrogant & acts clueless about critical race theory. They all voted to make masks mandatory before Wolf acted. Northampton School District…
