Policies
Policies and administrative regulations play a very
important role by defining the Baldwin-Whitehall
School District’s guiding principles and forming the basic
structure of the operations of the District. Policymaking
is a mandated responsibility of the board of school
directors and comprises both local specifications and
ever-changing state and federal laws and regulations.
The policies can be found by visiting https://www.
boarddocs.com/pa/bldw/Board.nsf/Public# and
selecting Policies.
District Student Handbook for Parents
Important policies and administrative regulations
for students and parents are found in the BWSD Student
Handbook for Parents. To access the handbook, visit
bwschools.net, select About Our District, from the menu,
then Parent Handbook from the left sidebar.
Child Find
Each school district, along with other public agencies
in the commonwealth, must establish and implement
procedures to identify, locate, and evaluate all children
who need special education programs and services
because of the child’s disability. This notice is to help find
these children, offer assistance to parents, and describes
the parents’ rights with regard to confidentiality of
information that will be obtained during this process.
The content of this notice has been written in English
but can be translated into other languages. If a person
does not understand any of this notice, he or she should
contact the Pupil Services Department (412-885-7583)
and request an explanation.

Title 1
The E.S.E.A. Title 1 Program is a federally funded
project developed to meet the academic needs of
students. E.S.E.A. stands for the Elementary and
Secondary Education Act that was passed in 1965. The
No Child Left Behind Act, signed into law by President
George W. Bush on January 8, 2002, reauthorized
E.S.E.A. Title 1. The No Child Left Behind Act is designed
to promote educational excellence for all students.
The goal is for all students to achieve proficiency of the
academic standards. Read more by visiting bwschools.
