Quakertown Community School District families and staff,
In our continued effort to provide updated information regarding the events of February 20, I am writing to let you know about a format change for tomorrow night’s regularly scheduled School Board meeting at 7 p.m. at our district offices at 100 Commerce Drive.
The Board is moving the public comment period to the beginning of the meeting in anticipation that an increased number of residents may wish to speak this week. The Board and administration are committed to listening to our school community, to gathering feedback, and to continuing to be as responsive as possible, while also focusing on providing the safest and most supportive school environment for our students and staff.
The School Board has chosen to move all non-essential items to a special-called meeting on Tuesday, March 3, in order to offer an opportunity for district residents, employees, students, and taxpayers to provide comment on matters of concern, official action, or deliberation that are or may be before the Board. Because this is a full business meeting of the school board, and not a town hall-style community meeting, public comment will still be limited to three minutes. We will follow our protocol for public comment as outlined in School Board Policy 903.
I am very pleased to share that our high school students have overwhelmingly been positive as they have returned to school this week, coming together to support each other during this challenging time. Students have taken advantage of the crisis counselling services we have offered through our school counselors, school psychologists, SAP counselors, and the Bucks County Intermediate Unit. We will continue to offer access to support services for any students who feel that it might be beneficial.
We appreciate the patience and understanding of our school community as we are doing all we can to focus on student welfare and wellness as our students have returned to class this week, amidst significant media attention. Thank you to our dedicated and caring staff who continue to be supportive of our students, and to all in our school community who have reached out. If you have questions or concerns, as always, please feel free to contact me directly.
With appreciation,
Dr. Lisa Hoffman
Assistant Superintendent
Quakertown Community School District
