The Springfield Township School District Board of School Directors approved a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with the Springfield Township Police Department on June 3, covering the period July 1, 2025 through June 30, 2027.
Administrators described the MOU as a codified approach to how the district and police will engage on school safety matters and support students in following the law and school expectations.
