Pennsbury School District Updates Facility Projects and Community Engagement Plans

The Pennsbury School District School Board held its action meeting on August 21, 2025, where several key updates and initiatives were discussed that directly impact the local community.

One of the most significant topics was the ongoing renovations at Charles Boehm Middle School, with the auditorium expected to be completed by mid-October. The second synthetic turf field is also nearing completion, with plans to request lighting from Falls Township to enhance its usability. Additionally, the east roof project is on track to finish before students return to school, ensuring a safe and functional environment for learning.

The facilities department has been busy over the summer, implementing various upgrades across the district, including security camera enhancements in all buildings and general improvements such as painting and ceiling tile replacements. These efforts aim to create a safer and more conducive learning atmosphere for students and staff alike.

In terms of future planning, the district is preparing for an Act 34 hearing scheduled for September 4, which will involve community input on the high school planning process. This is part of a broader initiative to engage the community in comprehensive planning, including potential updates to the district's mission statement.

The meeting also highlighted the successful management of student enrollment at Bucks County Technical High School, with no students currently on the waiting list, indicating a positive trend in vocational education access.

Other discussions included the approval of various financial reports and donations, such as a violin and a book in memory of a long-time board member, which reflect the community's support for the district's educational initiatives.

As the school year approaches, the board expressed excitement for the return of teachers and students, emphasizing their commitment to fostering a diverse and inclusive educational environment. The next steps will involve continued community engagement and the implementation of planned improvements, ensuring that the Pennsbury School District remains a supportive and effective place for student growth and learning.
