September 28th, 2026-Regular Public Board Meeting

The Wissahickon School District regular public board meeting, held September 28, 2026, included discussion of recommended 2026–27 district goals and a five-year enrollment update. The facilities goal calls for implementing projects in the board-approved five-year capital improvement plan, updating the plan for board review by June 2027, and incorporating current funding and state-reimbursement assumptions into long-term planning. Shady Grove Elementary and Wissahickon High School architectural reviews are part of the facilities work. In response to board feedback, administrators also discussed developing sustainability criteria for future capital projects; upcoming summer work was described as roofing and middle-school exterior work, with solar or similar energy upgrades not currently expected as part of those projects.

The district goals were presented for feedback and are scheduled to return for board consideration on October 5; no contract award, bid approval, or procurement-related vote was reported. In the enrollment discussion, a board member noted that retaining students in the district’s Virtual Academy rather than external cyber charter schools could reduce tuition costs by about $10,000 per student; the district reported 37 students in cyber charter schools, representing a potential savings opportunity of roughly $370,000 if those students enrolled in the district program. The board also reviewed routine human-resources action items, including a traffic-duty extracurricular position and mentor stipends, but no related spending vote was captured in the transcript.
