A summer session open to all district students who need help in English, reading or math begins July 6 and runs through July 30.

The 21st Century Summer School Program will be held at classrooms in Baldwin High School, Harrison Middle School and Paynter and Whitehall elementary schools from 8:45 a.m. to 12:15 p.m. weekdays.

The program is fully funded by a grant and is in its second year. Call 412-884-6300.

The school board last week unanimously passed a budget of $18.3 million based on the current millage rate of 28.27 mills.

Gas drilling at Beedle Park is on hold after a Council vote earlier this month denied Dorso LP's application to put two gas wells in the town's 135-acre park.

A number of residents had approached Council in recent months with concerns about safety, noise and traffic that they said such wells would bring.

Dorso, of Pine, already has two wells on property in the borough near West Jefferson Hills school offices and more than a dozen wells on private properties.
