SRO outlines safety steps as schools reopen, board praises community rapport
Summary
Officer Josh, the district’s SRO, told the board he has strengthened ties with principals and staff, implemented night-locks, classroom flip-charts and lanyard-based response protocols, and coordinates coverage across campuses; the board thanked him for his work.
Officer Josh, the school resource officer assigned to the Oley Valley School District, addressed the board and described safety practices ahead of the school year. He said he has completed a full school year in the role, worked closely with principals across all buildings, and prepared resources such as SRP (standard response protocol) materials, classroom flip-charts and lanyards for staff.
During Q&A board members asked how double-campus coverage is managed and whether a marked vehicle made location predictable; Officer Josh described coordination with neighboring officers, increased parking‑lot presence, and routine building walkthroughs so staff recognize officers and can rely on rapid response. Board members thanked him for building trust with students and staff.
