In a recent meeting of the Upper Darby School District Board, key elections were held for various positions, including the president-elect, vice president, and representatives for the PSBA Insurance Trust. Sabrina Backer was elected as president, with unanimous support from board members. Matt Vannoy was elected as vice president, followed by Holly Arnold as the eastern zone representative. The board also filled three trustee seats, electing Nathan G. Mains, Richard Frerich, and William S. Bacauff.

Following the elections, the meeting transitioned to a public hearing segment, where residents were invited to voice their concerns. Two notable comments were received via email regarding school safety. Kevin Cooper emphasized the need for effective safety policies, including the installation of metal detectors and adequate safety personnel to protect students and staff. He urged the board to consider student input on safety measures.

Caitlin McCasky echoed these concerns, referencing recent safety incidents in schools nationwide and questioning the potential implementation of metal detectors at the high school level.

The meeting concluded with no further comments from the public, and a motion was made to adjourn. The discussions highlighted ongoing community concerns regarding student safety as the school year progresses.
