Letter from the Superintendent to families on May 9, 2024

Dear Steel Valley School District Families:

As part of the Steel Valley School District's mission to continue to provide the safest possible educational environment for our students and staff, Steel Valley High School and Steel Valley
Middle School administrators partnered with local law enforcement from the Homestead, West Homestead and Munhall Police Departments to conduct a random search of the secondary campus on Thursday, May 9, 2024.

The Steel Valley School District has conducted similar random searches in the past. This procedure is a valuable tool to ensure that our staff and scholars can enjoy a safe, productive environment in which to teach and learn. Law enforcement officers used trained K-9 units to help conduct the search.

District administration would like to express its gratitude to the law enforcement officers with the Homestead Police Department, West Homestead Police Department, and the Munhall Police Department for conducting the search, and for their collaboration with Steel Valley School District Chief of Police Darrel Parker and School Resource Officer Dan Boehme on this exercise.

The safety of our students and staff is always of utmost importance to our community. District and building administrators will continue to collaborate with Chief Parker, our school resource officers, our security team, and local law enforcement to provide the safest possible educational environment for our students, staff, and school community.

Sincerely,
Bryan M. Macuga
Superintendent
