I'm proud to say that the American Flag is now being displayed properly at Reading High School.
Thank you to all the people involved who helped to make this happen. When you drive by Reading High School at night be sure to look at this flag. It is now illuminated by spot lights at night.
Senator O'Pake has pamphlets on how to fly the American Flag.

Other subjects shall be taught in the public elementary schools and also in the public high schools as may be prescribed by the standards of the State Board of Education. All such subjects, except foreign languages, shall be taught in the English language and from English texts: Provided, however, That, at the discretion of the Superintendent of Public Instruction, the teaching of subjects in a language other than English may be permitted as part of a sequence in foreign language study or as part of a bilingual education program if the teaching personnel are properly certified in the subject fields. Each school district shall provide and distribute to each pupil, enrolled in the eighth grade of the public schools, one illustrated copy of the National Flag Code, and shall, from time to time, make available such copies as are necessary for replacements from year to year. It shall be the duty of each teacher in the public schools to make such use of the code as may, from time to time, seem proper.
(PA School Code of 1949: Article XV Section 1511)
Is the Flag Code taught in RSD? Are booklets given to the students?
If not - why! It is a PA law!
