A survey was sent to students of which 455 responded. Of this number, 75% of students say that they feel safe while riding the bus to and from school. Students are reviewing the data to find the “top buses” with the most issues to address problems on those buses with administration.

“Overall,” Caroline said, “most buses are safe for students.”

Students participated in a lockdown drill and provided feedback to administrations, saying that it was very hard to get out of sight from the doors when Student Resource Officers came by to examine the students during the lockdown.

Teachers and students are working hard to prepare for the PSSA tests. April 23 – May 1 is the general timeline for the administration of the state tests.
