The new school year is one day old in Upper Darby.
They led the county putting a lid on summer and heading back to the classrooms, even beating the traditional early start at Ridley, where kids head back to school today.
I asked readers yesterday to send me some pictures of their kids as they returned to their classrooms. They did not disappoint. Many thanks for those who contributed.
Of course, there are still some outstanding issues in Upper Darby.
People are still trying to determine just why the district parted ways with Superintendent Rick Dunlap. After being on leave since July 21, the district recently announced Dunlap will retire on Sept. 7.
Not many people are buying that Dunlap is simply hanging it up and calling it a career.
Most believe there were some serious differences between Dunlap, and the school board and township officials over a plan to rebalance some district elementary schools, both in terms of class size and racial makeup.
Now some people believe the district could face an investigation by the Justice Department.
In the meantime, most lips in the district remain zipped.
We'll let you know what we are able to find out.
Here's where things stand right now.
