The program was funded from 2006-2009. Line Mountain School District was denied for funding, by the PDE, in 2006-07. In 2007-08, the district did not apply for the grant. For the 2008-09 school year, the district received $82,277. Of the 501 public school districts in Pennsylvania, 447 of them received Classrooms for the Future grant awards.[86]

Bullying and School Safety

The Line Mountain High School administration reported there were three incidents of bullying in the school in 2012. Additionally, there were 9 assaults on pupils and no sexual incidents involving students. The local law enforcement was involved in five incidents at the school resulting in one arrest.[87] Each year the school safety data is reported by the District Administration to the Safe School Center, which then publishes the compiled reports online.

In 2011, a Line Mountain teen committed suicide at home, reportedly due to bullying.[88] The Superintendent reported that the faculty, staff and students had participated in Olweus bullying training.

The Line Mountain School District administration reported there was 1 incident of bullying in the district in 2009. And a single incident in 2011.[89][90]

The Line Mountain School Board has provided the District's antibully policy online.[91] All Pennsylvania schools are required to have an anti-bullying policy incorporated into their Code of Student Conduct. The policy must identify disciplinary actions for bullying and designate a school staff person to receive complaints of bullying. The policy must be available on the school's website and posted in every classroom. All Pennsylvania public schools must provide a copy of its anti-bullying policy to the Office for Safe Schools every year, and shall review their policy every three years. Additionally, the district must conduct an annual review of that policy with students.[92] The Center for Schools and Communities works in partnership with the Pennsylvania Commission on Crime & Delinquency and the Pennsylvania Department of Education to assist schools and communities as they research, select and implement bullying prevention programs and initiatives.[93]

Education standards relating to student safety and antiharassment programs are described in the 10.3. Safety and Injury Prevention in the Pennsylvania Academic Standards for Health, Safety and Physical Education.[94]

Safe School grant

In 2013, Line Mountain high School did not participate in a state Safe Schools Targeted Grant. The maximum of $25,000 grants was available through a competitive application process.[95] The funds must be used for research based interventions, like: peer mediation, staff training in managing behavioral issues and creating a positive school climate. The District also did not participate in the state's School Resource Officer and Police Officer grants.[96]

Wellness policy

Line Mountain School Board established a district Student Wellness Policy in 2006.[97] The policy deals with nutritious meals served at school, the control of access to some foods and beverages during school hours, age appropriate nutrition education for all students, and physical education for students K-12. The policy is in response to state mandates and federal legislation (P.L. 108 – 265). The law dictates that each school district participating in a program authorized by the Richard B. Russell National School Lunch Act (42 U.S.C. 1751 et seq) or the Child Nutrition Act of 1966 (42 U.S.C. 1771 et seq) "shall establish a local school wellness policy by School Year 2006." Most districts identified the superintendent and school foodservice director as responsible for ensuring local wellness policy implementation.[98]

The legislation placed the responsibility of developing a wellness policy at the local level so the individual needs of each district can be addressed. According to the requirements for the Local Wellness Policy, school districts must set goals for nutrition education, physical activity, campus food provision, and other school-based activities designed to promote student wellness. Additionally, districts were required to involve a broad group of individuals in policy development and to have a plan for measuring policy implementation. Districts were offered a choice of levels of implementation for limiting or prohibiting low nutrition foods on the school campus. In final implementation these regulations prohibit some foods and beverages on the school campus.[99] The Pennsylvania Department of Education required the district to submit a copy of the policy for approval.

The Line Mountain Junior Senior High School offers a free school breakfast and free or reduced-price lunch to children in low income families. All students attending the school can eat breakfast and lunch. Children from families with incomes at or below 130 percent of the federal poverty level are provided a breakfast and lunch at no cost to the family.[100] In 2007, the Pennsylvania General Assembly passed legislation that provides a supplemental state reimbursement for each breakfast and lunch served as part of the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program.[101] The Food Service provides the monthly menus online and in the local newspaper on a weekly basis.[102][103]

Children from families with incomes between 130 and 185 percent of the federal poverty level can be charged no more than 30 cents per breakfast. A foster child whose care and placement is the responsibility of the State or who is placed by a court with a caretaker household is eligible for both a free breakfast and a free lunch. Runaway, homeless and Migrant Youth are also automatically eligible for free meals.[104] The meals are partially funded with federal dollars through the United States Department of Agriculture.[105]

In 2013, the USDA issued new restrictions to foods in public schools. The rules apply to foods and beverages sold on all public school district campuses during the day. They limit vending machine snacks to a maximum of 200 calories per item. Additionally, all snack foods sold at school must meet competitive nutrient standards, meaning they must have fruits, vegetables, dairy or protein in them or contain at least 10 percent of the daily value of fiber, calcium, potassium, and Vitamin D.[106] In order to comply with the Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act of 2010 all US public school districts are required to raise the price of their school lunches to $2.60 regardless of the actual cost of the lunch.[107] In 2014, President Obama ordered a prohibition of advertisements for unhealthy foods on public school campuses during the school day.[108] The Food and Drug Administration requires that students take milk as their beverage at lunch. In accordance with this law, any student requesting water in place of milk with their lunch must present a written request, signed by a doctor, documenting the need for water instead of milk.[109]

Line Mountain Junior Senior High School provides health services as mandated by the Commonwealth and the federal government. Nurses are available in each building to conduct annual health screenings (data reported to the PDE and state Department of Health)[110] and to dispense prescribed medications to students during the school day. Students can be excluded from school unless they comply with all the State Department of Health’s extensive immunization mandates. School nurses monitor each pupil for this compliance.[111][112] Nurses also monitor each child's weight.

In 2016, the Pennsylvania Department of Health distributed to each Pennsylvania high school the overdose antidote drug naloxone in a nasal spray. School nurses were also provided with educational materials and training developed by the National Association of School Nurses.[113] The cost was covered by a grant from a private foundation.[114][115]

Extracurriculars

Line Mountain School District offers a variety of clubs, activities and sports. The Line Mountain School Board determines eligibility policies to participate in these programs.[116][117] This includes abiding by the Line Mountain Athletic Department Code of Conduct.[118] Students who are failing two full credit courses are ineligible to participate for one week. If a student is absent for 20 days or more in any semester, the student is deemed ineligible until having attended school for 60 days, beginning after the 20th day of absence.[119]

According to Pennsylvania’s Safety in Youth Sports Act, all sports coaches, paid and volunteer, are required to annually complete the Concussion Management Certification Training and present the certification before coaching.[120]

In 2011, Line Mountain School District administration filed a complaint against a former wrestler, whose family had moved to another school district, in the CSIU16 region. The high school administration successfully denied the student the ability to wrestle in the 2011-12 season.[121] The student appealed the denial to the District wrestling board of the PIAA. The appeal was lost.

In 2013, a complaint was filed, in federal courts, against the District regarding its wrestling program. The Administration and School Board denied a female student access to the wrestling program. A federal court appeal was sought by the student. U.S. Judge Matthew W. Brann, of the Middle District of Pennsylvania, issued a temporary injunction prohibiting Line Mountain School District from preventing the pupil to register for the team after her parents filed a lawsuit against the school district.[122] The judge went on to grant the plaintiff relief. The School Board repealed their policy to exclude females from the program. The Judge ordered the School Board to pay $70,948 to the plaintiff's attorneys.[123]

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.[124][125]

The School provides a National Honor Society program for students whose GPA is 90% or higher in 10th through 12th grades.
