Thousands of students in Allegheny County are at risk of being excluded from school over the next six weeks if they don't provide proof they have met new immunization requirements.
In some districts, the deadline is the first day of school, including Allegheny Valley, where school starts today. As of Friday afternoon, 45 students had not provided documentation. That number fell from 75 earlier in the week.
A small number of schools held to the May 1 deadline, including Mt. Lebanon School District. "We did our big push last year," said Mt. Lebanon spokeswoman Cissy Bowman. "We're in good shape."
