Extracurriculars
The schools offers an extensive and costly variety of clubs, activities and sports. Eligibility to participate is determined vi school board policies.
In 2010, the school board established a Taskforce that examine spending in extracurriculars. The committee found substantial redundancy which added to costs. Discussions included the 4 middle schools which each have a varsity and junior varsity basketball team and combining the middle school teams from 4 individual schools to 2 combined teams/schools.
By Pennsylvania law, all K-12 students in the district, including those who attend a private nonpublic school, cyber charter school, charter school and those homeschooled, are eligible to participate in the extracurricular programs including all athletics. They must meet the same eligibility rules as the students enrolled in the district's schools.
