Upper Darby board adopts resolution urging Congress to limit federal agents’ presence in school areas
Summary
The Upper Darby School District board voted to adopt a resolution asking Congress to codify limits on federal agents operating in school areas, citing concerns that such activity disrupts learning and community safety.
The Upper Darby School District board unanimously adopted a resolution asking Congress to convert prior administrative limits on federal agents’ presence in school areas into statute. Board members said the resolution is intended to reduce disruption and allow schools to focus on teaching and learning.
A sponsor described the resolution as a step to "remove the fear that has provoked such disruption in our schools," and said it would allow the district to focus on instruction rather than national policy debates. The resolution was moved, seconded and passed by voice vote during the meeting.
The board did not provide specific legislative language at the meeting. Board members noted the resolution is a formal request to state and federal elected officials; they asked the superintendent to share the board’s position with congressional delegations and to follow up as appropriate.
What happens next: The board adopted the resolution and the district will transmit it to congressional offices as a formal expression of the board’s position. No ordinance, contract, or binding operational change was adopted at this meeting.
