Policy Change: Special Release procedures for School District of Philadelphia Students:
The School District of Philadelphia is committed to making student safety an integral part of each school's mission, school safety plans, policies, procedures and protocols. It is crucial that all staff is made aware of the policies, as well as their role in implementing them, so that all students are provided a safe learning environment. To that end, the District has revised its Special Release Procedures, requiring photo identification checks (preferably government-issued ID) with every special release. All schools will be expected to implement this protocol as established.Clickhere for details.
