===PSSA History=== |
|||
[[Pennsylvania System of School Assessment]]s, commonly called PSSAs are No Child Left Behind Act related examinations which were administered from 2003 through 2012, in all Pennsylvania public high schools. The exams were administered in the Spring of each school year. The goal was for 100% of students to be on grade level or better in reading and mathematics, by the Spring of 2014. The tests focused on the state's Academic Standards for reading, writing, mathematics and science. The Science exam included content in science, technology, ecology and the environmental studies. The mathematics exam included: algebra I, algebra II, [[geometry]] and [[trigonometry]]. The standards were first published in 1998 and are mandated by the Pennsylvania State Board of Education.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.portal.state.pa.us/portal/server.pt/community/state_academic_standards/19721 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110206135857/http://www.portal.state.pa.us/portal/server.pt/community/state_academic_standards/19721 |dead-url=yes |archive-date=2011-02-06 |title=State Academic Standards |author=Pennsylvania Department of Education |year=2014 |df= }} </ref> |

In 2013, the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania changed its high school assessments to the Keystone Exams in Algebra 1, Reading/literature and Biology1. The exams are given at the end of the course, rather than all in the spring of the student's 11th grade. |

==Wellness Policy== |

The Southern York County School Board established a district wellness policy in 2006 - Policy 246.<ref>[http://www.syc.k12.pa.us/district.cfm?subpage=56989 Southern York County School Board Policy Manual] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120115083434/http://www.syc.k12.pa.us/district.cfm?subpage=56989 |date=2012-01-15 }}</ref> 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 [[National School Lunch Act|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." |
|||
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.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.portal.state.pa.us/portal/server.pt/community/school_nutrition_incentive_program/7489 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20101108075906/http://www.portal.state.pa.us/portal/server.pt/community/school_nutrition_incentive_program/7489 |dead-url=yes |archive-date=2010-11-08 |title=Nutrition Standards for Competitive Foods in Pennsylvania Schools for the School Nutrition Incentive, |author=Pennsylvania Department of Education — Division of Food and Nutrition |date=July 2008 |df= }} </ref> The Pennsylvania Department of Education required the district to submit a copy of the policy for approval. |
