Dear GSEP Community,
In the past 24 hours, the World Health Organization has declared COVID-19 as a global pandemic, and it has become apparent that there is community transmission in the state of Pennsylvania.

In response to these changing circumstances, we are taking the following steps:

  • No trips will be approved through March 31, 2020.
  • All council staff are being instructed to work from home through March 31, 2020, except for staff needed to preform essential council functions. These staff will be scheduled on a staggered basis to limit potential contact.
