East Penn School Director Alan Earnshaw attends Monday night's reorganization meeting via Skype.
Usually, board reorganization meetings are pretty cut and dried. Dull even.

Mr. Mull, I do not support having different standards for different schools. The standards we apply in Emmaus and Alburtis should also apply in Lower Macungie Township; the number of students affected is irrelevant. Those criteria include distance to school, presence or absence of sidewalks, PennDOT-designated dangerous roadways, and railroad crossings. I am open to considering changing the … more ›
