Pennsbury School District Board Action Meeting - March 19, 2026

The Pennsbury School District Board held an action meeting on March 19, 2026, which included significant procurement and budget discussions. A major highlight was the approval of bids for the new high school construction project, marking a key milestone after years of planning and stakeholder input. Construction is scheduled to begin in May 2026 and continue through August 2029, with the school opening in September 2029. The board also approved several financial and contract-related items, including an audit services agreement with Clifton Larson Allen LLP, refinancing of bond issues, purchase of iPads and related technology, a Synology backup system for Google Workspace, and agreements for student dental exams and financial support services. Concerns were raised during public comment about the high school project’s budget, bid processes, and administrative turnover, reflecting community scrutiny over fiscal management. Additionally, the board recognized the resignation of long-serving director T.R. Cannon and approved the hiring of three new elementary school principals. Policy updates and wellness initiatives were also discussed, including the adoption of new mission and vision statements and mental health service expansions.
