• Duquesne City Schools under feasibility study, raising concerns about consolidation (wtae.com) — Duquesne families are facing big uncertainty as the Pennsylvania Department of Education studies whether to consolidate the Duquesne City School District, which now serves all K–8 students in one building. West Mifflin and other nearby districts are being surveyed about a possible merger, while local pastor Eric Ewell urges broader community meetings so residents can ask questions before recommendations go to legislators in June.
