The Neshaminy School District held a Board Public Work Session on April 2, 2024, where several key agenda items were addressed, including the appointment of a new superintendent and various personnel matters.

The meeting commenced with a significant motion regarding the appointment of Jason M. Bowman as the new superintendent of schools. The board unanimously approved Bowman's appointment for a five-year term, effective July 1, 2024, through June 30, 2029. The resolution included the approval of the District Superintendent Employment Agreement, which was prepared by the district solicitor. Following the vote, Bowman expressed his gratitude for the opportunity, highlighting his deep ties to the community and his commitment to fostering a supportive environment for students.

Subsequently, the board addressed multiple personnel matters in a master motion that encompassed certificated appointments, leaves of absence, retirements, resignations, and support staff changes. This motion also passed unanimously, reflecting the board's continued efforts to manage staffing effectively.

Another important item discussed was the approval of bids related to roadwork at the new Cork Creek Elementary School. The board approved a bid of $1,679,001.90 from R Blair Corporation, which was under budget. Additionally, a $500,000 grant secured by Senator Farry's office will contribute to the funding of this project.

The meeting concluded with a motion concerning the Bucks County Technical High School. The board approved amendments to the articles of agreement that govern the partnership with other lower Bucks County school districts. This amendment is significant as it supports the educational opportunities for over 300 Neshaminy students who attend the technical school annually.

Overall, the meeting underscored the board's commitment to leadership stability, effective staffing, and collaboration with regional educational institutions, setting a positive tone for the upcoming school year.
