Finance & Operations Committee Meeting: October 2025

The Finance and Operations Committee of the Upper Darby School District held a meeting on June 25, 2026, focusing primarily on capital projects completed during the summer of 2025. The committee reviewed significant facility improvements including asbestos abatement, floor and furniture replacements across multiple schools, HVAC system upgrades, and lighting system enhancements. The district leveraged state grants and negotiated favorable vendor discounts, notably securing an additional 15% discount on floor materials beyond the PA Costars contract pricing. The committee also discussed the ongoing Clifton Heights Middle School construction project with a targeted completion date in August 2026. Additionally, the board considered forming a subcommittee to explore future plans for the newly acquired Delaware County Memorial Hospital property, with an RFP issued to assist in evaluating demolition and redevelopment options. Policy updates were addressed, including a delay in voting on transportation policy related to redistricting and approval to move forward with updated federal fiscal compliance language. Motions were passed to advance the federal fiscal compliance policy to the next board meeting and to postpone the transportation policy for further refinement.
