Bathroom lockdown still happening months later
In November 2024, the students of Stroudsburg High School (SHS) received an email from the principal, Jeffrey Sodl.
Many students were misbehaving in the time leading up to the email, and he figured it was time to give a written warning, which is why the email listed seven reminders of what students were expected to do daily, a few rules, and informative wake-up calls.
Other than the usual dress code, Smart-Pass, earbuds, and phone reminders, he also mentioned bathrooms.
As of Nov. 15, 2024, students were no longer allowed to go to the bathrooms during ninth period, and only eight bathrooms in the school were left open for girls and boys.

Does More State Funding Guarantee a Reduction in School Property Taxes?
Many taxpayers were under the impression that state funding would offset school property taxes. It seems we've all been hoodwinked. We send our legislators to Harrisburg to work on our behalf, and now we're told that we're being misled. State funding MUST be linked to reducing school property taxes, or we should be allowed to stop paying school property taxes until it happens.OPEN LETTER TO PA SENATOR ROSEMARY BROWN (R-40):Pennsylvania State Senator Rosemary Brown (R-40) just sent out her Friday, February 28, 2025, late afternoon newsletter about education taxes not being reduced in accordance with federal, state, and local education tax funding being sent out to the schools and school boards. Senator Brown says we all should attend school board meetings to make sure that the funding offsets the school taxes. That's great in theory!
