The Chester Upland School District is on the cusp of being dismantled and replaced with charter schools which would make it the first district in Pennsylvania to be almost completely under the control of charters. To a crowd of displeased parents and teachers, three charter school networks presented their proposals at a school board meeting Thursday night.
With a substantial number of families outraged and a parent-driven legal intervention aiming to impede the process, it’s important to understand how Delaware County’s only city became the epicenter of what many consider an education catastrophe.
Which Pa. schools had the largest number of arrests in 2019-20?
Updated Feb 15, 2021;
The Pennsylvania Department of Education’s annual Safe Schools report for the 2019-20 school year showed a noticeable drop in reported arrests.
Districts are required to submit their misconduct reports, both criminal and academic infractions, to the state every year. Reporting sometimes changes from year-to-year, but no changes were made last school year.
Last year, the top three criminal reasons why students were in trouble statewide were:
Possession, use, or sale of tobacco or vaping 8.34 percent
Fighting 8.14 percent
Minor altercation 5.42 percent
Here’s a list of the schools that had the largest number of arrests, and the crime that was most common at each school.
