Two offices the borough does not name publicly. The borough site lists a manager by email address only, with no name, and names neither a solicitor nor an open-records officer. The Right-to-Know Law requires an agency to designate an open-records officer. Borough office: 325 School Street, Springdale PA 15144, 724-274-6800.

These rows summarize allegations and reported outcomes. They are not findings that every allegation was true. The role column states whether Dayoub was a named defendant, a plaintiff, or not a named party.
DAYOUB SAYS
“Just because you look at stuff that was alleged, nothing was sustained.”
PublicSource reported that Dayoub called the allegations “150% incorrect,” later criticized the reporting as incomplete, said he had “overwhelming support,” and rejected the resignation petition as proof of wrongdoing.
FULL RESPONSE CONTEXT →REPORTED SETTLEMENTS
Cases in which Dayoub was a named defendant. Cases where he was the plaintiff, or not a named party, are excluded from this panel and listed in the table above.
Amounts come from public-record reporting. They are not all payments by Springdale, and they do not by themselves establish Dayoub’s personal liability.
SPRINGDALE / ICE RECORD
ICE records reviewed by PublicSource date Springdale’s 287(g) agreement to Nov. 6, 2025. The borough manager said the pact was not discussed publicly or brought to council. A 2026 Pennsylvania Office of Open Records determination (AP 2026-1297) addressed a request for borough–ICE correspondence and was partially denied and partially moot, not a clean release.
