At its regular meeting, the Bensalem Township School District Board of School Directors approved several administrative and personnel items and handled a confidential student settlement.
The board approved a revised 2024–25 annual school calendar (agenda item M‑5). Officials noted the change moves Bensalem High School graduation to June 11 (time announced as 6 p.m.) and confirmed graduation will be livestreamed. No additional calendar details were specified at the meeting.
The board approved a settlement agreement and release between the district and the parents of a student identified at the meeting as Student H; the board said the item was presented following an executive session on confidential student matters. No settlement terms were read into the public record.
The board approved a resolution revising district personnel policies “for the wages, hours of work and miscellaneous working conditions” for cafeteria workers (agenda item O‑7). The motion carried with no further public discussion recorded.
The board approved an updated job description for the principal position (agenda item O‑8). A board member asked whether the redline would be published; the answer at the meeting was no, and the board carried the motion.
The consent agenda — including secretary minutes (H‑1 through H‑5), treasurer’s report (I‑1), school board policy items (L‑1 through L‑11), instructional affairs (M‑1 through M‑4), business affairs (N‑1 through N‑6), and personnel items (O‑1 through O‑6) — was approved as presented.
On agenda item M‑6 (approval of a tuition/student placement referenced for the 2025–26 school year), a board member asked for clarification and the board recessed briefly. When the item returned to the floor, Mrs. Nicholas made a motion to table the item until the April meeting; the motion to table carried. No further deliberation on M‑6 occurred in public.
Board members reported that the board had met in executive session before the public meeting to discuss confidential student matters, employee personnel matters and attorney‑client litigation matters. Several committee and student board reports were delivered earlier in the meeting.
