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.
EXETER TWP., Pa. â At its Tuesday night virtual meeting, the Exeter Township School Board adopted a resolution honoring the memory of David Bender for his 34 years of service to the board.
Bender, who died in November 2020, was a school board director from 1983 until 2017. He served as board president and vice president, as chair of numerous committees, and as a mentor to new board members over his many years of service. David was a fine gentleman, and there is no resolution that could recognize everything that he did, but I know that he certainly was an inspiration to me, and his contributions were endless, said Robert H. Quinter Jr., a past president of the school board.
