Neshaminy board certifies November results, swears in four directors and elects 2026 leadership

The Neshaminy School District board on a single meeting certified municipal election results from November 2025, administered oaths to the newly elected directors and completed its annual reorganization with unanimous votes for board leadership and routine items.

County election officials read certifications that, as recorded in the meeting, named Erin Bursius as elected to the school director seat for Region 1, Kristen Egan for Region 3, Jake Krause for Region 3 and Nicholas Mitt Goldrick for Region 2, each for four-year terms. The board then turned to swearing in the new directors. The Hon. Daniel F Barmanowski administered the oath of office; each newly sworn director recited the standard oath to “support, obey and defend the Constitution of the United States and the constitution of this commonwealth” and to discharge their duties "with fidelity." One oath-taker is recorded in the transcript as saying, “I, Erin Brocious. Do solemnly swear.”

Following the oath, the board moved into its reorganization agenda. Carlos Rodriguez was nominated and then elected temporary president by a recorded vote of 9–0. The board then nominated and elected Marty Sullivan as president for 2026 (vote 9–0) and Tina Hollenbeck as vice president for 2026 (vote 9–0). Minutes and roll call show a full quorum present for those votes.

The board also approved a master motion to adopt a set of action items including the appointment of the solicitor (item 5.01), the 2026 school board meeting calendar (5.02), a student settlement agreement (5.03) and homebound instruction arrangements (5.04). That master motion passed by recorded vote 9–0 after a second from a board member identified in the record as Mr. Rodriguez.

Brief remarks followed: a board member thanked colleagues and expressed appreciation for the opportunity to continue working with the district in 2026; other members welcomed the newly sworn directors and extended holiday greetings. Clerk announcements listed upcoming meetings: a public work session on Jan. 13 at 7:00 p.m., a board meeting on Jan. 27 at 7:00 p.m., a business operations meeting Jan. 21 at 6:30 a.m., an educational development meeting on Jan. 6 and a policy committee meeting on Jan. 22 at 6:30 a.m., with the last three scheduled in the same meeting room. The meeting adjourned following a unanimous vote to close.

Note on transcript inconsistencies: the record supplied multiple spellings and a probable transcription error (for example, the certification read “Shamans School District” in one place). Names in this article follow the forms as they appear in the meeting record; where the transcript contains alternate spellings (for example, “Erin Bursius” and later “Erin Brocious”), that discrepancy is noted above rather than corrected without external verification.
