Which Pa. schools had the largest number of arrests in 2019-20?
Updated Feb 15, 2021;
The Pennsylvania Department of Education’s annual Safe Schools report for the 2019-20 school year showed a noticeable drop in reported arrests.
Districts are required to submit their misconduct reports, both criminal and academic infractions, to the state every year. Reporting sometimes changes from year-to-year, but no changes were made last school year.
Last year, the top three criminal reasons why students were in trouble statewide were:
Possession, use, or sale of tobacco or vaping 8.34 percent
Fighting 8.14 percent
Minor altercation 5.42 percent
Here’s a list of the schools that had the largest number of arrests, and the crime that was most common at each school.
How East Stroudsburg schools plan to diversify curriculum, staff and more
With a student body far more racially diverse than its employees, the East Stroudsburg Area School District is undertaking a long-term effort not only to make sure its curriculum reflects all students, but to make sure all operations, including communication and hiring, are carried out with diversity in mind.
It’s not quick work, but it’s deliberate: “We don’t want to be reactionary. We want to be proactive,” said school board member Damary Bonilla-Rodriguez. That means “the work is happening on an ongoing slower pace” but that allows diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) to be purposefully baked in across the district.
