Keystone Education Report: Back-to-School Safety in Pennsylvania Schools – July 2026

This re-air of The Keystone Education Report features a conversation with Pennsylvania’s education leaders on one of the most pressing issues facing our schools: back-to-school safety and security. With interviews featuring Senator Patty Kim and Representative John Schlegel, along with insights from a local chief of police, a school psychologist, a director of safety and security, and a superintendent, the episode explores how communities across the commonwealth are working to keep students safe, supported, and ready to learn. From legislative perspectives to on-the-ground strategies, this discussion highlights the collaborative efforts needed to protect our schools. The Keystone Education report airs on the second and fourth Wednesday of each month on the Pennsylvania Cable Network (PCN).For more information, visit https://www.PSBA.org/keystone-educati.... 00:33: Interview with Senator Patty Kim and Representative John Schlegel 11:02: Interview with chief of police 18:25: Panel discussion © 2026 Pennsylvania School Boards Association.
