Verification Status
We do have per-talkgroup data for Perry Township Schools from the RadioReference API, and used it to set the encryption scope shown above — but no additional human-reviewed source (a live feed check or a dated news account) has been recorded for this record, so treat it as a data-quality correction rather than an independently confirmed verification. Check the live RadioReference database directly for current status.
If you monitor Perry Township Schools directly or have more current information, the fastest way to fix this is to update the RadioReference Wiki entry — our data pulls from there and from the RadioReference API on a regular refresh cycle.

Can Marion County reverse the encryption decision?
Nothing technical prevents it. Perry Township Schools operates encrypted because someone decided it should, and decisions of that kind get revisited when councils hear sustained, organised pressure rather than isolated complaints.
What can I do about Perry Township Schools encryption?
Three things carry weight, in this order: a public-records request for Perry Township Schools's encryption policy and radio recordings, a turn at the microphone during Marion County budget discussions, and finding the other people locally already asking the same question.
