Neshaminy Board approves routine business, personnel actions, programs and policy changes
At its meeting, the Neshaminy School District Board approved a slate of routine business and operational items, recorded several retirements, and finalized a policy adoption. The board also approved educational partnerships, overnight student trips and other program items.

The chair put a master motion to approve routine business — minutes, the treasurer's report, the check register and procurement card purchases, investments, and exonerations — which was seconded and passed 9 to 0.

Superintendent Mister Bohm highlighted an award: "Neshaminy School District has been named an outstanding visual arts community by the Pennsylvania Arts Educators Association," and congratulated art teachers, student artists and recent honor society inductees. The board also recognized six new Neshaminy High School Football Hall of Fame inductees and thanked first responders for their work in the schools.

On personnel, the board approved administrative retirements and resignations including Mrs. Dawn Kelly (31.3 years of service). The board approved seven certified staff retirements/resignations and acknowledged long-serving employees (Amanda Amer, Brian Barber, Harry O'Boyle, Pamela O'Boyle). Support-staff actions included the retirement of Vonda Kaiser as head custodian after about 25 years; these personnel motions were approved by recorded voice votes that were unanimous where stated.

Business operations motions passed as a package and included items such as PSBA elections, a districtwide facility study, a post-closing compliance agreement related to the mayor's playground project, updated depositories and the assessment-appeal settlement for Lowes Home Centres, Inc. Educational motions approved partnerships for high school enrichment enrollment with Bucks County Community College and dual-enrollment arrangements with Mercy University, a revised 2024–25 school year calendar, a student settlement agreement and homebound instruction provisions.

The board approved six overnight trips that require board authorization under district policy; the motion passed eight to zero with one abstention. Ms. Lafferty moved the second reading and final adoption of district policy Section 7.07 (use of school facilities); Mr. Rodriguez seconded and the board approved the policy 9 to 0.

The meeting closed with announcements of upcoming public meetings and an adjournment motion that passed 9 to 0.
