Neshaminy board accepts FY2022 audit, approves personnel items and policy adoptions in unanimous votes

The Neshaminy Board of School Directors unanimously accepted the district audit for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2022, approved multiple personnel items and retirements, and adopted two board policies during its public meeting.

Mister Sullivan moved acceptance of the 2020–21 and 2021–22 audit reports prepared by Zelenkowski Axelrod LLC; Missus Bowman seconded and the board voted 8-0 to accept the audit, citing compliance with section 24-2408 of the School Code.

Board members approved a sequence of personnel master motions covering retirements, resignations, leaves of absence and appointments. Mister Sullivan read a list of long-serving employees being recognized for retirement, including Patricia Androsco (36 years), Linda Curley (32), Diane Hannah (32), Jacqueline Hidalgo (20), Rosemary Horsley (27), Kimberly May (30), Amy Neff (37) and Beth Sanchez (30). The board also recognized Donna Tolbert (23.9 years) and Cheryl Vornhold (34.7 years) in later items.

The board adopted for final insertion into the Neshaminy School District Policy Manual two policies presented for second reading: Section 114 (gifted education) and Section 827 (conflict of interest). The motion for final adoption was moved and seconded and carried 8-0.

Other consent and business items approved unanimously included the district’s routine matters (minutes, treasurer’s report, check register, investments, exonerations), contract and program items in Section 7 (special education plan, contract addendum for Lakeside, homebound instruction, out-of-district placements, ESSER revisions, overnight trips and 2023 summer programs), and an extension to the completion date for two recognition plaques to June 30, 2024.

The meeting concluded after a second public-comment period and a motion to adjourn.
