EASD Connections
-
External influences including state and federal legislation, as well as educational trends across the Commonwealth and nation, can have impacts on the Elizabethtown Area School District. The EASD Connections section of our website is designed to keep you up-to-date on these issues regardless of whether the impact is good, bad, or indifferent. By nature, it is intended to be non-partisan. Keeping our community informed about key issues and the possible impacts on our school district is what is most important to us. With that in mind, the Elizabethtown Area School District is pleased to share this information with you as we hope it will allow you to better understand the multitude of external events, decisions, and legislation affecting our school school system.
