  • North Penn School District

Government (Pennsylvania public school district describing its provision)

Summary

The district describes FM receiver access in its school auditoriums and multipurpose rooms, including elementary-school gyms.

Key findings

  • The district says every school’s auditorium/multipurpose room has assistive listening, using FM receivers with headphones or neckloops for telecoil-equipped hearing aids and cochlear implants.
  • Receivers are obtained from audiovisual staff or the meeting/show organizer. Equipment locations include the stage in elementary-school gyms and sound-board or control-room locations in secondary auditoriums.
  • The service requires a microphone in use; the district says it does not amplify ambient room sound.
  • The Educational Service Center also has an installed room loop for direct telecoil reception.

Limits

Operator description with no publication date, receiver quantities, measured coverage or listener results. Does not establish how reliably loans or microphone use work at events.
