At its Jan. 27 legislative meeting the Upper Dublin School District Board of School Directors approved a package of committee recommendations from education, finance, personnel and pupil services committees.
Key approvals included the Bucks County Intermediate Unit special education agreement; the 2025–26 instructional calendar; professional development and student activity items including a German exchange and PMEA qualifiers; 13 finance items; two personnel items (including retirements and the athletic director appointment); and four pupil services agreements. The board approved each motion by voice vote; when a named vote was recorded, it is noted below.
Notable recorded action: the Bucks County Intermediate Unit special education agreement passed with one abstention from Dr. Mary Beth Thomas, who said she would abstain "just because it's my place of employment." Minutes from the Dec. meeting were approved after a motion moved by Mr. John Held and seconded by Mr. Sirota. Finance committee chair Mr. Sirota presented 13 finance items (6A–M); the board noted a donation from Ambler Savings Bank to Maple Glen’s fifth grade as part of that package.
