# UDSD Committee Meetings: October 2026 (LIVE STREAM)

The Upper Darby School District Board Finance and Operations Committee met on October 28, 2026, for an informational update on summer 2026 capital projects. Work included renovations at Highland Park Elementary and the high school, window and door replacements, and substantial completion of Clifton Heights Middle School. Highland Park’s toilet-room project had an initial public-bid cost estimate above $3.5 million, though the revised cost was not clear in the transcript. Solar installations at Hillcrest and Stonehurst remain underway, with an estimated net investment of about $500,000 and a projected payback period of just over six years. At the Delaware County Memorial Hospital site, the district reported asbestos removal and demolition planning; it was seeking $175,000 for generators, chillers, and switchgear and had received a $20,000 offer for the CT scanner. A public bid for remaining furniture drew no takers, and the furniture was disposed of. Grant funding supported some facility improvements. No capital-project spending vote was taken; the committee agenda was informational.

The Educational/People Services Committee reviewed proposed textbook purchases for AP Modern World History (70 copies, about $1,800), AP United States History (70 copies, about $12,000), and Spanish courses (490 textbooks/licenses in a six-year package; the cost was unclear in the transcript). Members agreed to advance the proposals for board action at the November 10 meeting; the purchases were not approved at this meeting. The committee also reviewed three policies, including an update documenting required wellness-check procedures for students enrolled in full-year virtual instruction, and agreed to advance them for board action. The only recorded vote was approval of the posted meeting agendas.
