Today Superintendent Linda S. Lane announced that the Pittsburgh Public Schools had made Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP) for the second time in three years. Making AYP is a particularly challenging feat for large urban districts because of the greater number of targets that must be met.
Todayâs announcement marks the second time the District has achieved AYP in the nine years school districts have been held accountable to do so since NCLB was signed into law January 2002. By achieving AYP the District moves into âMaking Progressâ status by meeting state and federal targets set under NCLB. âMaking Progressâ status means that the District met all targets on each of the three standards â high school graduation, test participation and academic performance.

âInternet Essentialsâ to Provide Families with Children Eligible for a Free Lunch under the National School Lunch Program with Low-Cost Internet Service, Affordable Computers and Digital Literacy Training
Congressman Mike Doyle, Pittsburgh Mayor Luke Ravenstahl and Comcast Corporation Executive Vice President David L. Cohen today launched Internet Essentials, an ambitious and comprehensive broadband adoption experiment. Itâs the first program to address three of the primary barriers to broadband adoption that research has identified â 1) a lack of understanding of how the Internet is relevant and useful; 2) the cost of a home computer; and 3) the cost of Internet service. Available to low-income families in Pittsburgh with children who are eligible to receive free lunches under the National School Lunch Program (NSLP), the goal of Internet Essentials is to help close the digital divide and ensure more Americans benefit from all the Internet has to offer.
