policies and procedures contained in this Memorandum of Understanding (hereinafter
“Memorandum”): Shaler Township Police Department
The following School Entity or Entities enter into and agree to adhere to the policies and procedures
contained in this Memorandum: Shaler Area School District
B. The purpose of this Memorandum is to establish procedures to be followed when certain specific
incidents - described in Section II below - occur on school property, at any school sponsored activity
or on any public conveyance providing transportation to or from a school or school sponsored
activity, including but not limited to a school bus.
C. It is further the purpose of this Memorandum to foster a relationship of cooperation and mutual
support between the parties hereto as they work together to maintain the physical security and safety
of the School Entity. Thus, the School Entity may disclose personally identifiable information from
an educational record of a student to the Law Enforcement Authority if a health or safety emergency
exists and knowledge of that information is necessary to protect the health or safety of the student or
other individuals. In determining whether a health or safety emergency exists, the School Entity
may take into account the totality of the circumstances pertaining to a threat to the health or safety of
a student or other individuals. If the School Entity determines that there is an articulable and
significant threat to the health or safety of a student or other individuals, it may disclose information
from education records to the Law Enforcement Authority, if knowledge of that information is
necessary for the Law Enforcement Authority to protect the health or safety of the student or other
individuals. The School Entity must record the articulable and significant threat to the health or
safety of a student or other individuals so that it can demonstrate - to parents, students and the
Family Policy Compliance Office - what circumstances led it to determine that a health or safety
emergency existed and why the disclosure was justified.
D. Priorities of the Law Enforcement Authority
1. Investigate all incidents reported to have occurred on school property, at any school sponsored
activity or on any public conveyance providing transportation to or from a school or school
sponsored activity, including but not limited to a school bus. The investigation of all reported
incidents shall involve as little disruption of the school environment as is practicable.
2
2. Identify those responsible for the commission of the reported incident and, where appropriate,
apprehend and prosecute those individuals. Identification and apprehension procedures shall
involve as little disruption of the school environment as is practicable.
3. Assist the School Entity in the prevention of the incidents described in Section II of this
document.
E. Priorities of the School Entity
1. Create safe learning environments, which support each student’s well-being and opportunities to
reach their full potential while balancing and protecting the rights of all students.
2. Establish and maintain cooperative relationships with the Law Enforcement Authority in the
reporting and resolution of all incidents described in Section II of this document.
3. Foster partnerships with the Law Enforcement Authority for the education and guidance of
students to create a school climate and knowledge base conducive to learning and personal
growth.

the event of a reported incident.
