Thank you Mid Valley School District Board of Directors for your powerful letter to Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (and Governor Tom Wolf).

How right you are when you say that “As a governing body charged with protecting the safety and welfare of our students and faculty, we have an obligation to monitor any increased threats posed by outside forces” and “That protection is more vital when the risks affect our children.” We wish the Dunmore School District School Board of Directors shared your courage. We are greatly disappointed that after statements they would send a letter to the DEP, on behalf of the students in their district, they opted to remain silent.
