As it has been heard or seen on the news Retired Pa State Trooper Paul Semler has been suspended from his current job at Western Wayne School district as a School Police Officer. I am making this petition to gain community support to help our voices be heard.
SPO Semler has served this nation as a US Marine where he served faithfully and with honor,and as a PA State Police Officer for 26 years. Paul, while a State Trooper, served the Western Wayne School District as School Resource officer in addition to his duties as a Trooper First Class. Once Trooper Semler retired, he continued to serve WWSD as a School Police Officer. SPO Semler has demonstrated a lifetime of faithful service to the nation, to the Commonwealth of Pa and to the WWSD.
As a graduate from Western Wayne I met SPO Semler as a freshman, lets just say he saw the good in me and helped turn a bad situation good. The students of Western Wayne Middle and High school need a role model in their lives like SPO Semler as I needed in mine. SPO Semler has the ability to see good in people and sense when people are in need of help. I am eternally grateful for SPO Semler's guidance and patience with me, and giving me a second chance. I know for a fact that there are countless examples of prior and current students who benefited from his exemplary service.
Based on the results of this petition I don’t believe I'll be the only one who thinks SPO Semler deserves a second chance as being a School Police officer.
Please help me gain community support and show the Western Wayne School District that we want and need SPO Semler to be there for students now and in the future as he was there for me and countless other students when we needed him most.
Thank you for all Your Support.

seeing this kind of support for paul is honestly overwhelming and it shows just how much he meant to us all in school. im blown away by the energy behind this and we are definitely showing the district that he isnt someone who can be forgotten.

no need to get ride of paul semler he's a out standing human. If wwsb gets rid of him then it's Shame on then and they will be replace too. The man is a roll model for these students I wish he was their when I went to school. Keep up the good job paul semler. Caesar Matacchiera Western Wayne alumni 89.
Paul has always demonstrated a professional, dedicated and caring attitude in his service to this country and then this commonwealth. I KNOW he cares about the kids of Western Wayne and I fully know he would be one of the best assets to helping the youth of our area.
Semler is a great heated person who would help anyone who needed it. He has personally helped me threw a lot of hard times. I do not think the one mistake he has made should leave him with a loss of his job. Everyone makes mistakes, let's not be so quick to judge one person because of one mistake. But for the many good deeds he has done.
He really does deserve a second chance he has helped me and my friends so much these past few year as I moved on through highschool everyone makes mistakes! There is always good in everyone so why we all sit here and read this just think back on how many times he has helped us, I think it's time for us to return the favor!!!!
Paul Semler is a great man, police officer and friend to the community, students and parents of the Western Wayne School District. I fully support him and hopes that he sees how much he is appreciated!! We've got your back as you have had ours, unfailingly, over the years!!
I loved him when I was in school he helped me a lot and I graduated in 2011!
One of the best PA State Troopers I ever had the opportunity of meeting !

I knew Officer Semler when he was a Marine stationed in Hawaii 1984. Those bringing this petition explain him well all these years he has protected and served his community. It would be a mistake to dismiss a good man for one mistake. If I know Paul this will become a lesson learned for many. He should have the opportunity to serve and educate his community as he has done.
