The Chester-Upland School District's School Board Committee of the Whole Meeting on September 18, 2025, highlighted key updates from the Delaware County Intermediate Unit (DCIU) and upcoming events for board members.
Chair Betty McLaren reported that DCIU is actively progressing with childcare projects in Markel and Fallcroft, with plans for additional initiatives once current projects are completed. McLaren emphasized the opportunity for community members to enroll in the Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) program, which allows participants to earn their license in just 12 months. Interested individuals are encouraged to visit the DCIU website for more information.
Additionally, McLaren noted that the Pennsylvania School Board Association will hold its conference at Callahan Resorts in the Poconos, with several board members and the superintendent expected to attend. This conference aims to foster collaboration and share insights among educational leaders.
The meeting underscored the district's commitment to enhancing educational opportunities and community engagement, setting the stage for future developments in local education initiatives.
