Weapons detection system approved for largest Delaware County school district
Upper Darby schools to install weapons detection system
The largest school district in Delaware County is going high-tech with a new security system designed to keep students safe.
UPPER DARBY TOWNSHIP, Pa. – Delaware County’s largest school district is going high-tech with a new security system designed to keep students safe and weapons out of school.
The Upper Darby School Board unanimously voted to approve the purchase of a $1.1 million weapons detection system for three of its district’s secondary schools.
The Evolv system uses artificial intelligence to scan for all kinds of weapons. The system is being used in some of the biggest concert and sporting venues in the world, including Citizen’s Bank Park.
“I am asking you please, please put the kids and the staff’s safety first,” said one parent, addressing the school board.
Two recent incidents in particular prompted the board to re-examine the proposal of a new system designed by the Massachusetts technology company. School administrators say in the first week of classes one student brought a gun to school and, in a separate incident, another student brought an ammunition magazine from a semi-automatic rifle.
Administrators say the system is much faster and more effective than traditional metal detectors.
“This is more, I would say, user-friendly. Similar to what you find at sporting venues. Making sure specific metals or what appears to be a gun are ruled out of being in a venue” said Upper Darby School Superintendent, Dr. Daniel McGarry.
The company says Evolv can scan up to 2,000 people an hour. The security lanes staffed by school administrators will soon be installed at Upper Darby High School, Upper Darby Middle School and Beverly Hills Middle School.
But, not everyone is on board with the plan. Some parents are worried their schools will look more like prisons.
“Have you looked at any studies on the potential negative impact on our psychologically vulnerable children?” asked one parent.
“I don’t believe treating the entire community of children like potential criminals is the best way to address their ongoing education,” added another parent, addressing the board.
But most parents who spoke applauded the measure, citing the recent incidents and school shootings around the country. Some called it a sobering sign of the times as the board unanimously voted to approve the expenditure.
“The sole intent here is to protect kids, save lives and make sure nobody is in harm’s way,” said McGarry.
The Evolv system should be installed in schools within four to six weeks.

Thomas Jefferson University to run Delaware’s first medical school
Thomas Jefferson University is opening a regional campus of its Sidney Kimmel Medical College in Delaware, an effort that will result in the state’s first medical school.
Jefferson beat out three other bidders to establish the four-year program in partnership with the state. The other bidders were the Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine, the consulting firm PriceWaterhouseCoopers and Ponce Health Sciences University in Puerto Rico, Spotlight Delaware reported.

The inaugural class of 40 medical students will begin instruction in July 2028. Initially, the campus will be based at the University of Delaware in Newark, with Jefferson faculty providing instruction. A permanent home for the campus is still being finalized, the Inquirer reported.
The medical students will receive 18 months of preclinical training on campus before receiving clinical training from healthcare providers in Delaware’s southern counties, where the state’s physician shortage is most deeply felt. That shortage is compounded by an aging population, Delaware officials said.
“Jefferson is committed to being part of the solution to Delaware’s physician shortage,” Jefferson CEO Dr. Joseph Cacchione said in a statement. “We are proud to help build a future where every Delawarean has access to the care they deserve. Jefferson is all in.”
The school’s creation is being supported by $157.4 million from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services.
Delaware is one of three states without a Doctor of Medicine or Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine program. Since the late 1960s, Jefferson and the Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine have reserved seats for Delaware students.
“Sidney Kimmel Medical College has trained generations of physicians for more than 200 years, more than any other medical college in the country,” Said Ibrahim, dean of Sidney Kimmel Medical College, said in a statement. “It is a privilege to bring our mission to Delaware’s patients and communities.”
Jefferson has announced several expansions recently. The university is establishing a full-time doctor of nursing practice-nurse anesthesia program and several online graduate programs at the Lehigh Valley Health Network Center for Healthcare Education in Lehigh County. It also is opening a satellite respiratory therapy lab at Lehigh Valley Hospital-Cedar Crest in Allentown.
