MNSD Issues Statement on Property Closings

The following was provided to Patch by Marple Newtown School District:

It is one of the Marple Newtown School District’s goals to provide a safe and secure environment for our students to learn and prepare for their future. To assist in completing that goal the Marple Newtown School District is announcing that effective immediately, for the safety and security of the Marple Newtown School District Students, the district’s buildings and grounds will be closed to all persons, except students, staff, and those having business with students and staff, during regular school hours.

This includes the public use of the facilities during School District events. For example, if there is a soccer game, in progress on the stadium field, the public will not be permitted to use the stadium track.

As always the Marple Newtown School District buildings and grounds are available for use by groups by following the information found in Policy 707. Policy 707 can be found on the Marple Newtown School District Website by looking under “District Departments,” clicking on “Operations,” looking under Downloads and clicking on “Policy 707 Use of School Facilities.”
