At the regular meeting the board approved the agenda and consent items, approved co-curricular contracts and an MOU with support professionals, disclosed an executive session on labor negotiations, and directed the district to pursue planning for new middle school construction (6–3).
The Bensalem Township School District Board of School Directors approved routine governance items and several personnel/contract actions at its regular meeting.
Key votes recorded on the public docket: the meeting agenda and the consent agenda (minutes, treasurer’s report, policy and personnel items) were approved on voice votes; co-curricular contracts for the 2025–26 school year (agenda item P8) were approved (with one abstention disclosed for a contract involving a board member’s spouse/partner); and the board approved a memorandum of understanding (MOU) between the district and the Bensalem Education Support Professionals Association (agenda item P9). The board also disclosed it met in executive session prior to the public meeting to discuss labor relations.
Separately, on an unfinished-business item about middle-school facilities, the board directed administration to pursue new-construction designs (see separate coverage). The meeting adjourned after the votes.
