    • Message from the Superintendent

      September 2021

       

      Dear Oxford Area School District Stakeholders,

       

      Starting September 7, 2021 all schools buildings in the District will follow the orders from the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania Secretary of Health to mask all students, staff and visitors indoors.  The order below describes the acceptable masks, where and when there are exceptions and what is necessary to provide to the school principal that would suffice under the order to have a child present without a mask.  I am very aware of the opinions of parents and guardians both pro and con masking, however this order must be followed as provided.

      Superintendent of Schools

       

      Order signed by Pennsylvania’s Acting Secretary of Health requiring face coverings to be worn in all school entities

       

       

      Estimados interesados del distrito escolar del área de Oxford,

       

      A partir del 7 de agosto de 2021, todos los edificios escolares del Distrito seguirán las órdenes del Secretario de Salud del Estado de Pensilvania de enmascarar a todos los estudiantes, el personal y los visitantes en el interior. La orden a continuación describe las máscaras aceptables, dónde y cuándo hay excepciones y qué es necesario proporcionar al director de la escuela que sería suficiente bajo la orden de tener un niño presente sin una máscara. Estoy muy consciente de las opiniones de los padres y tutores tanto a favor como en contra del enmascaramiento, sin embargo, esta orden debe seguirse según lo dispuesto.

    • Helping You Recover from Hurricane Ida

      Breaking it Down: Major Disaster Declarations

      Late last week, President Biden approved federal disaster declarations for parts of Pennsylvania. The incident period for both declarations is from August 31 – September 5, 2021, and authorizes FEMA to provide federal disaster assistance to impacted areas. Visit FEMA’s official Pennsylvania Hurricane Ida Disaster Page here.  

      About Disaster Assistance

      Federal disaster assistance from FEMA may be available for certain expenses which are not covered by insurance policies (Homeowner, Renter, Flood, etc.) or from active Voluntary Agencies/Mass Care (emergency food, shelter, clothing, medical, etc.). For counties with major disaster declarations, this can include grants for temporary housing and home repairs, low-cost loans to cover uninsured property losses, and other programs to help individuals and business owners recover from the impact of Hurricane Ida.

      Types of Assistance

      Individual Assistance Fact Sheet - learn about these programs:

      • Mass Care and Emergency Assistance (MC/EA)
      • Crisis Counseling Assistance and Training Program (CCP) 
      • Disaster Unemployment Assistance (DUA) 
      • Disaster Legal Services (DLS) 
      • Disaster Case Management (DCM) 
      • Individuals and Households Program (IHP)

      Disaster Assistance Sequence of Delivery Fact Sheet - learn about the process to receive assistance here.

      Public Assistance Fact Sheet - this is not yet available, check back for updates. Examples of this would include: 

      • Debris Removal
      • Emergency Protective Measures
      • Roads
      • Public Utilities

      Applying for Federal Assistance

      If/when your county receives a Major Disaster Declaration, you may apply online for individual assistance from FEMA or constituents may call the application phone number at 1-800-621-3362 (TTY: 800-462-7585).  

      Other Resources

      FEMA Emergency assistance alone is not designed to make those affected whole. It is important that residents explore all aid available through the federal, state, and local governments as well as through reputable non-profits. 

      In addition to your local and county governments, please find a list of organizations that FEMA has compiled.
