The East Lycoming School District is committed to providing a safe and secure learning environment for students, staff, and visitors. Our ability to do this effectively depends on our ability to work together as a school and community. For security purposes, the District cannot answer specific questions about what security measures are in place, but our access controls and response procedures are continuously reviewed, practiced, and revised as needed.
