January 26th, 2026-School Board Public Meetings

The Wissahickon School District held a public board meeting on January 26, 2026, focusing on various district updates and governance matters. Key procurement-related discussions included the approval to award a bid for the sale of surplus obsolete computers and equipment to Cornerstone Technologies for $62,250, and a facilities easement related to North Penn High School expansion with no cost impact to the district. The board also discussed the upcoming budget for the 2026-27 school year, debating whether to apply for an Act 1 special education exception to exceed the 3.5% tax index, ultimately passing a motion to allow flexibility in the budget to address rising costs and special education needs. Additionally, the board reviewed policy updates aligned with current laws and regulations, and received reports on professional development, equity in special education and gifted programs, and communication strategies. Public comments addressed concerns about district policies, safety, equity, and community relations, but no direct procurement actions were taken during those periods.
