Wednesday, April 8th, 2026 - Pennridge SD Committee Meetings - Student Services/Curriculum

This meeting of the Pennridge School District Student Services and Curriculum Committees, held on April 8, 2026, focused primarily on educational program updates and student support initiatives rather than direct procurement activities. Key discussions included the approval of a ski club overnight trip with a cost of approximately $23,300 covering transportation, lodging, and activities. The Curriculum Committee reviewed updates on the Multi-Tiered System of Support (MTSS) universal screeners, including a planned transition from DIBELS to Acadience for K-2 students, with no additional budget required due to internal reallocations. They also discussed the implementation of a new cursive writing program costing about $9,691 in the first year, funded within the existing budget. Additionally, the committee addressed the integration of personal finance education K-12 using free resources, and ongoing efforts to develop a consistent grading framework across the district. While no new contracts or vendor selections were announced, the meeting included budget considerations for curriculum materials and professional development related to these initiatives.
