# Education & Pupil Services Committee Meeting: August 2026

The Upper Darby School District Education & Pupil Services Committee met on September 29, 2026 (the meeting title references August 2026). The committee received an informational presentation on the fall 2025 Pennsylvania Youth Survey and student supports, including counseling, student-assistance and school-based mental-health services. It also reviewed the Act 80 Exploration Committee’s research into alternative school schedules. No schedule was adopted; members requested further analysis, particularly of Option 3, including effects on instructional time, families and child care, staffing, technology and budget. District staff were asked to return with an update earlier than April. The committee also agreed to advance two board policies to a second reading.

Budget and operational costs were raised as issues for further study, but the transcript records no budget allocation, contract award, solicitation, vendor selection or purchasing approval. No procurement activity was identified.
