Perkiomen Valley will observe Sept. 11 moment of silence; principals to receive guidance
Summary
The policy committee approved language enabling a districtwide moment of silence on Sept. 11. Elementary principals will be trained and an announcement video will be used to ensure consistent, age‑appropriate messaging.
Speaker 2 (administrator) presented policy 807 proposing a district recognition to hold a moment of silence on September 11. “We will make as a school district, and, really, it is to hold a moment of silence on September 11th,” Speaker 2 said.
Why it matters: A districtwide observance touches every school and requires consistent, age‑appropriate explanation for students, particularly in elementary grades.
What was decided: Committee members agreed it should be districtwide across all buildings and grades. Speaker 1 noted elementary principals will attend a training and Speaker 1 will prepare a short morning announcements video to explain the reason for the observance and to ensure consistent messaging.
Ending: Staff will work on implementation guidance for principals and return any necessary supporting materials to ensure consistency across buildings; no further policy action was recorded beyond the adoption of the recognition language.
