LEHMAN TWP. &mdash; Lake-Lehman School District reported two more cases of COVID-19 Thursday, one student from Ross Elementary and another from the Junior/Senior High School. The text alert sent to parents notes, as in previous cases, that the district is following state guidelines and assisting with contact tracing, adding &ldquo;we will advise if further action is needed.&rdquo;
				The district also announced an early dismissal Friday for Parent Teacher conferences. The high school will dismiss at 12:15 p.m. and the elementary schools will dismiss at 1 p.m.
				The district had sent out a text Wednesday announcing a student from Lake-Noxen elementary had tested positive, but noted the student &ldquo;attends one of the virtual platforms.&rdquo; The district has been offering three options for students: Full in-person learning at the schools, live online learning at home via the internet, or asynchronous learning through the district&rsquo;s cyber charter program.
				On Tuesday the district reported a high school student tested positive, and on Monday a text said two staff members at Lehman-Jackson tested positive.
				After Luzerne County began to see a big surge in new cases in recent weeks, the state switched the county from moderate risk to substantial. The state recommends school districts switch to full-remote learning in such a situation, but leaves the decision to the individual districts.
				At Monday&rsquo;s School Board meeting, responding to a question about the district&rsquo;s plans Superintendent James McGovern said the district will continue in the current mode &ldquo;and will not change unless we are mandated by the governor.&rdquo;
