Upper Dublin School District

What Upper Dublin School District does

Upper Dublin School District is a public K-12 school district serving students residing in Upper Dublin Township, Montgomery County, Pennsylvania. The district operates six schools — four elementary (Fort Washington, Jarrettown, Maple Glen, Thomas Fitzwater), one middle (Sandy Run), and one high school (Upper Dublin High School) — under the governance of a nine-member elected Board of School Directors and a Superintendent-led administrative team. As a Pennsylvania government entity, it provides comprehensive general education alongside Special Education (serving approximately 13% of students), Gifted Education with GIEPs, mental health and Student Assistance Program resources, McKinney-Vento homeless support, and basic-needs assistance.

The district runs on a commodity ed-technology stack rather than proprietary platforms. Infinite Campus serves as the student information system and registration portal; Schoology operates as the learning management system; Clever provides single sign-on; Naviance handles college and career planning; and a district-wide 1:1 Chromebook initiative underpins classroom technology access. Safety and operational systems include RAPTOR visitor management, Here Comes the Bus transportation tracking, and Safe2Say Something anonymous reporting. Operational delivery is supported by partner organizations including Greater Philadelphia YMCA (before/after care), Kelly Education (substitute staffing), and the Upper Dublin Education Foundation.

The district is funded through local property taxes, Pennsylvania state education aid, and federal education grants, with no tuition charged to district residents. Supplemental transaction-based revenue streams include facility rentals (managed through ML Schedules) and food services. Communications run through a multi-channel mix — a comprehensive website, bimonthly 'News from the Nest' newsletter, 'The Cardinal Cast' podcast, iOS/Android mobile apps, and active social media presence. Enrollment is geographically restricted to district residents, and the customer base is structurally non-portable, creating a stable but bounded revenue profile.
