BusPatrol Partnership Weighed In Hatboro-Horsham

HORSHAM TOWNSHIP, PA —The Hatboro-Horsham School District is mulling a potential partnership with BusPatrol to enhance student safety.

During the Hatboro-Horsham School Board meetings this month, Andre’ McLaurin —the district's director of educational programming, reported that the Safe Schools Committee met on Nov. 21 to discuss a range of school safety topics.

In October, all HHSD schools held their mandatory emergency safety drills, and administrators participated in a Horsham Township Emergency Management meeting, McLaurin reported.

During that meeting, the group discussed future training sessions and resource coordination between the school district and Horsham Township. The committee also discussed a potential partnership with BusPatrol to enhance student safety.
