Conflict of Interest Request for adding new section to page

This edit request by an editor with a conflict of interest has now been answered.

What I think should be changed (include citations):

Above the Academic achievement section,

add section titled "Recovery Plan"

,== Recovery Plan == The Pennsylvania Department of Education closed the district's high school prior to the 2007-2008 school year. ^[1]Since the closing, students in grades nine through twelfth grade have been provided option to attend their choice of West Mifflin Area or East Allegheny school districts. This recovery plan was initiated as a response to low standardized test scores and a dearth of extra-curricular activities and sports programs at Duquesne City. The Allegheny Intermediate Unit operated the school during the recovery phase ^[2] until a receiver (or Chief Recovery Officer) was appointed to oversee district-wide systems, policies and procedures ^[3].

Recent Progress

As part of the district’s state-controlled recovery plan, prior to the start of the 2012-2013 school year, the district began offering students in seventh and eighth grade tuition vouchers to attend West Mifflin Area or East Allegheny school districts.^[4] The start of the 2021-2022 school year marked the return of in-person instruction for seventh grade students at the district.^[5] The district will welcome back eight graders beginning with the 2022-2023 school year, which will also mark the much-anticipated return of some of the district's sports programs.^[6]

Why it should be changed:

To provide important information about the operation of the school district.
