 Political Subdivisions
The earliest English settlers of Pennsylvania brought with them, along with their other political institutions, the idea of townships, boroughs and districts as the basic political and administrative divisions of county organization, and the ward as that of the more populous of them, particularly the City.
The later divisions of these townships into other townships, boroughs, districts and wards was the direct result of population growth and the consequent need for more highly developed governmental forms to accommodate it.
While a township has always been capable of achieving corporate status, it was normally an unnecessary step, as townships in both England and America were in almost all cases simply rural areas obliged to perform police functions only.

For confidentiality and reliability, results may be based on data from this year, or on an average of this and the previous year's data.
In Pennsylvania a school or district can make AYP by using two or three consecutive years of data if the result is better than a single current year calculation.
Since this index shows significant growth including growth at the lowest levels, it is a good indication that low performing schools are building a foundation to meet AYP objectives.

Upper Moreland Township is setting aside in its 2007 budget $250,000 for improvements to the police departments' prisoner area, some of which are necessary for accreditation, plus $2,500 for other accreditation-related expenses.
Hammon said spending $250,000 on building improvements is a small investment compared to the legal fees a township would face if it's sued because a prisoner dies in a cell block that doesn't meet accepted standards.
Pennsylvania created its own accreditation system in 2001 after a task force under Governor Tom Ridge recommended creating a set of standards more specific to state laws.

Moreland wants to build a 14,000-square-foot Walgreens pharmacy and an 11,000-square-foot liquor store with 5,000 squre feet of office space above it.
While preservationists are pleased that Moreland has agreed not to demolish the Black Horse, they are concerned that moving it either across the four-lane highway or to the back of the three-acre property would alter the 1744 Federal-style building, which closed in the 1980s.
Township Commission President Robert C. McGrory says moving the structure across the pike "is not the best of all worlds for preservationists, but it's better than the current option of moving it to the back of the property, essentially behind the drug store."

 Pennsylvania Dept Of Education - Academic Achievement Report
For a school to "meet AYP," students in the school must meet goals in three areas: (1) Attendance (for schools without a high school graduating class) or Graduation (for schools with a High School graduating class), (2) Academic Performance, and (3) Test Participation.
For HATBORO-HORSHAM SHS, the Pennsylvania System of School Assessment (PSSA) taken by students in Grade 11 is used to determine Academic Performance and Test Participation in Reading and Mathematics.
After initial AYP results are announced each year, schools and districts have the opportunity to appeal the AYP rulings through the Pennsylvania Department of Education if they believe their AYP identification was in error for statistical or substantive reasons.This year, schools and districts can correct any coding errors in the data themselves.
