Dear Property Owner:

The Taxpayer Relief Act, Act 1 of Special Session 1 of of 2006, was signed into law by Governor Rendell on June 27, 2006. The Taxpayer Relief Act may reduce your property tax bill through a homestead or farmstead exclusion.

The property tax reduction will come in the form of a reduced assessment on the school district property tax bill.  In order to participate, you must file an Application for Homestead and Farmstead Exclusion form by March 1, 2013, and the application must be approved by the Columbia County Assessment Office.

Please select the link, below, for an application and instructions on completing the application:

Transportation is provided for pupils in grades K through 12 to public and non-public schools as required by law. Any student whose behavior is detrimental to the welfare or safety of other students or refuses to follow directions may be denied the privilege of riding the school bus.

It is recommended that students arrive at the bus stop 5 to 10 minutes before the bus is scheduled to arrive. Please inform your child to wait a reasonable amount of time for the bus to arrive. Please keep in mind that busses may not always arrive on time due to adverse weather conditions or traffic delays.

Board policy 7100 clearly spells out the district's transportation policy. The district provides transportation to and from one location throughout the year. Requests to alter drop-off/pick-up arrangements will not be honored due to the complexities of the ever changing family structure. Please refer to student handbooks for details.
