# October 5th, 2026 -School Board Public Meetings

Wissahickon School District Board of School Directors public meeting, October 6, 2026 (the meeting title identifies October 5). The board approved five contracts with CHA Consulting, covering design, bidding, and construction management services for capital improvement projects at the high school, Blue Bell, Stony Creek, the middle school, and Lower Gwynedd. The board clarified that these approvals cover project preparation and design, not construction itself; no contract amounts were stated. Discussion included roofing options, including reflective white roofs and planted green roofs. Residents raised concerns about noise from the middle school chiller and a boiler incident, and one speaker asked the board to delay the Lower Gwynedd item associated with a $14 million heating, cooling, and electrification project pending a public root-cause investigation. The five CHA items nevertheless passed; no separate vote on that requested delay was recorded.

The board also approved finance items, including accepting donations and authorizing a local bank for school-fund deposits, as well as the 2026–27 priority areas and goals, meeting minutes, and HR action items. Other discussion included student-athlete and coach programming. A board member announced an upcoming resignation effective November 17, with the district to share a process for filling the vacancy. No vendor or contract amount was identified for the CHA agreements.
