About that budget...

Remember this post? Relentless, is it? 

According to a June 17, 2010 PG article, Changes could boost Mt. Lebanon in rankings, Dr. Tim was quoted as saying that we did not qualify for the U.S. News & World Report silver ratings.  By approving the high school's participation in the National School Lunch Program, its poverty rate percentages will be reported to Standard and Poor's for U.S. News & World Report's rankings. I am not sure there was ever a public vote for the national school lunch program since I cannot find it in the minutes. According to the CAFR, there is quite a jump in free or reduced lunches.  Interesting how we are now listed as a silver medal school on the U.S. News & World Report website. The demographic data is still from 2007-2008.

It came to fruition. U.S. News and World Report Ranks Mt. Lebanon High School #8 in PA When the School Board discusses the budget tonight, please keep this in mind. It is only a numbers game and showing poverty rate percentages and the high school's participation in the National School Lunch Program got us there.
