The PA Public Utility Commission (PUC) has created the Advance Education Brochure explaining the soon-to-be-implemented Emergency Broadband Benefit (EBB) program. The EBB gives qualifying households money to buy internet service or equipment to use the internet if they are eligible. This program should be of particular interest to parents of school age students (Free or Reduced Lunch makes a household eligible), and students attending colleges and universities (Pell Grant recipients are eligible). This program is not yet activated. However, the funding is expected to go quickly and will be administered on a first come/first served basis. More information about this program is also available on the FCC’s webpage at www.fcc.gov.

Community organizations are to be advised that the use of any Sharon City School District facility requires a facilities use agreement PRIOR to use. Any organization found using a District facility without permission will be reported for trespass. These facilities include but are not limited to: School gymnasiums, pool, outdoor recreational and study areas, Tiger Stadium, Hadley field, Jefferson field, Wengler field, Cordia Commons field. Thank you.

Dear Facility Patrons of Sharon City School District, During the Covid pandemic The Sharon City School District has worked diligently to maintain our facilities both inside and outside school buildings in order to keep both our students and employees safe. In July of last school year, under the terms of the district health and safety plan, we stated that we could begin to receive requests for use of outside facilities only that included the locations of Sharon Tiger Stadium, both Jefferson and Wengler ballfields, all practice sites at Hadley and Westerman, and practice fields at Sharon Middle/HS. Patrons requesting to use these sites were asked to submit a completed facility contract, certificate of insurance, and a detailed mitigation plan that followed all guidelines from Governor Wolf, CDC, and Sharon City School District's Health and Safety Plan. It was also stated that once received, such requests would then need to be approved by the Board of Education. It has come to our attention that outside patrons both inside and outside of Sharon are just showing up to our properties and holding organized games and practices without approval from the Board of Education and during Sharon student athletic practices without mitigation in place. This will not be tolerated. Please be advised that if any outside organization not associated with the Sharon City School District is found on any property without proper approval and paperwork on file, you will be asked to leave and the Sharon City Police Department will be contacted. If you want to use our facilities we kindly ask that you follow the procedures. If you have any questions about the use of facilities, please contact Sharon M/HS Assistant Principal, Mrs. Dawn Blair at 724-983-4030.
