Hatboro-Horsham School District Ceases Daily Letters Regarding Positive COVID-19 Cases

HATBORO-HORSHAM, PA — The Hatboro-Horsham School District has announced that as of Monday it would no longer be issuing daily letters from school principals communicating the general details of positive COVID-19 cases identified each day.

School District Superintendent Scott Eveslage informed families in a district communication on Monday that despite the change, the district would continue to monitor and track cases and quarantines, which are broken down by individual school through the District Dashboard.

The dashboard gets updated two times a day.

"We are continuing our contact tracing efforts in what have been determined as high-risk areas, where masking is not universal (cafeteria, athletics)," Eveslage wrote in his bulletin. "In these cases, individuals who are identified as close contacts to a positive case will still be contacted directly."

Eveslage said the district continues to request that families report positive cases to school nurses and continue to adhere to school isolation and quarantine guidelines issued by the Montgomery County Office of Public Health.
