The Morrisville Borough School Board approved a package of policy and operational items and ratified multiple routine contracts and payments during its meeting.
After tabling the minutes from the May work and business meetings because attachments were missing, the board unanimously approved the 2025‑26 student handbooks for K–5 and 6–12, the 2025‑26 High School Program of Studies, and the Title I targeted support and improvement plan for the high school as presented.
