The Baldwin-Whitehall superintendent said he’s getting police and lawyers involved after receiving threats over the district’s masking policy.

The state Supreme Court tossed the Wolf administration’s school mask mandate last week, turning control back to local school boards. The Baldwin-Whitehall School District decided to keep a face mask requirement in place.

While Superintendent Randal Lutz said the majority of responses to the decision were respectful even if they were in disagreement, some people have threatened him. Peter Giglione, school board president, said the threats came as an anonymous email.
