During a recent meeting of the Upper Darby School District Board, the public hearing segment highlighted concerns from local residents regarding student behavior outside school premises. School Director Glenn opened the floor for public comments, emphasizing a three-minute time limit for each speaker. However, only one resident, Melissa Harris, submitted a comment via email.

Harris, a resident of Windermere Avenue, expressed her frustration over a recent incident involving students congregating in her back driveway after school. She reported that over 100 students were seen shouting and jumping on parked cars, prompting a call to the police. Harris noted that this was not an isolated incident, referencing a previous occurrence where a group of girls was involved in a physical altercation.

In her comment, Harris urged the school board to take responsibility for student behavior, even when it occurs off school property. She criticized the lack of response from the principal after she reached out regarding her concerns. The board's response to these issues remains to be seen, as the meeting concluded without further public input.
