After tabling, North Penn to hold student Q&A and share feedback on school police officer proposal
Loading...
Summary
District officials said they have continued student conversations after tabling a motion on school police officers and will show an informational video at the high school followed by three days of lunch-period Q&A; staff will gather student feedback and report back to the board before deciding next steps.
District leaders told the Safe Schools Committee they have continued student outreach since the board tabled consideration of a proposal on school police officers and will hold a high-school informational video plus multiple Q&A sessions to collect student feedback.
Mister Roan summarized work since the tabling: student meetings, superintendent collaborative group focus sessions across buildings, and plans for an informational video followed by three days of lunch‑period Q&A at the high school so students can respond while the material is fresh. “Out of that, we have also scheduled an informational session with students at the high school, and then that will be followed by 3 different Q and A sessions,” he said, clarifying the sessions will take place over three days.
Access and staff input: Committee members asked whether staff input was being solicited. Mister Roan said staff have provided feedback individually and the district is designing a broader mechanism to collect staff views; he also said leadership has discussed the plan with union leaders. Doctor Bauer said a video and outline were already sent to families after the full-board presentation and that student groups have been part of the design process.
Promotions and accommodations: The district plans promotion through building leadership, the morning show and daily announcements and will alter the high-school schedule on the video day so late-arrival students can view the information. Mister Roan emphasized multiple contact opportunities (video plus sessions over three days) to capture different students’ decision-making timelines.
Next steps: Staff will collect and summarize feedback from students and staff and report results to the board; the path forward will be determined after that report. No vote on the underlying school-police proposal occurred during this committee meeting.
The meeting concluded with no public comments and a motion to adjourn; the next Safe Schools Committee meeting will be held virtually on Feb. 24, 2026.
