Upper Dublin committee approves referral to legislative agenda for exploratory Bucks County IU agreement
Summary
Committee agreed to move an exploratory agreement with the Bucks County Intermediate Unit to the legislative agenda so the district can evaluate 18–22 transition programming options.
The Education Committee on Jan. 8 agreed to refer an exploratory agreement with the Bucks County Intermediate Unit (Bucks IU) to the district’s legislative agenda for further consideration.
District staff said the agreement would open conversations about 18‑to‑22 transition programming for students with disabilities and other transition needs. Upper Dublin already holds an agreement with the Montgomery County Intermediate Unit (MCIU); staff described the Bucks IU partnership as a new opportunity to expand options rather than a replacement.
Costs and timing: Administrators clarified the agreement carries no cost unless students enroll in Bucks IU programming; committee members confirmed the item will move to the legislative meeting for formal consideration.
What wasn’t decided: No specific Bucks IU program was selected; staff said the agreement is intended to allow individualized conversations with families and to expand the district’s options for transition services.
Outcome: Committee consensus (thumbs up) to forward the agreement to the legislative agenda for board action.
