The board’s 7-1 vote to not approve the trip — which would have involved 285 ninth graders at one of the Central Bucks district's middle schools— spurred confusion and outrage among some parents.
PHILADELPHIA — The Central Bucks School Board in Pennsylvania scrapped a planned ninth-grade trip to Washington to visit the Holocaust Museum and other sites after a board member objected to city vaccine requirements that she said could exclude some students.
“Frankly, they could go to Dorney Park and learn about roller coasters,” she said, referring to the Allentown amusement park. Washington says its vaccination requirements do not apply to people “briefly” entering venues, including to use the restroom. Board president Dana Hunter did not respond to a request for comment Wednesday afternoon. Neither did Sciscio, who said during the meeting she has a ninth grader at Tamanend.
Under the district’s board-approved health and safety plan, “the vaccination status of a person is private; therefore, employees will not ask, solicit, or engage in discussion around the vaccination status of another adult or student.”
