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."

PLEASE NOTE: On Blog-Lebo, we do not publish anonymous comments. You must put your name to your words. Include your full name in the text of your comment (usually at the end), and you’ll be fine. Or post from a Blogger account having a public profile that includes your full name. Either way will work. But if you don’t include your name, or if we have reason to believe the name on your comment isn’t authentic, we will not be able to publish your comment.
Why must I use my full name?
When you post a comment on Blog-Lebo, you are making a public statement. Therefore, we require that you accept responsibility for your words. Just like at a public meeting of the school board or municipal government, when you stand to speak on Blog-Lebo, you must state your full name. That way, everyone will know who is speaking, and you will know that you’re responsible for what you say.
So how is government involvement in this issue perceived?
