High School Project Act 34 Hearing Information

The District has posted on its website the relevant information regarding Act 34. I will post that text in full below, but first, you need to know two things.

First, any email comments you wish to make regarding Act 34 should be sent to the Board Secretary and NOT to the school board. Emails sent to the Board will not be submitted to the Pennsylvania Department of Education. Please email your comments to boardsecretary@mtlsd.net

For those without email access, written comments can also be mailed to the District at:

Mt Lebanon School District
Board Secretary
7 Horsman Drive
Mt Lebanon, PA 15228

Second, if you wish to reserve some time to speak at the meeting then you will need to stop by the District offices in order to get your name on the agenda.
