PGH Public School District this week is aiming to lift its nine-month moratorium on SUMMARY CITATIONS, the 'lowest level criminal offense one can receive in the state'
Students who receive them are tried as adults in front of a magisterial district judge.

WE WON!! ♥️Tonight the PGH School Board voted to extend the moratorium on use of Summary Citations that leave children with life-long adult consequences for small behaviors. Big LOVE to all who spoke out to demand this protection!
