Bensalem Township School District board approves contract with Bucks County Intermediate Unit 22 to start superintendent search

The Bensalem Township School District Board of School Directors approved an agreement with Bucks County Intermediate Unit 22 to provide search and consultation services to select a district superintendent at a regular meeting called to order at 6:43 p.m. at the Dorothy D. Call Administrative Center.

The presiding officer (Chair) called for the motion, which was moved and seconded; the Chair recorded an "Aye" vote and stated, "Motion carries." The transcript records that there were no abstentions and no opposition voiced on the record. The agreement's cost, duration, and specific search timeline were not specified during the meeting.

The board opened the meeting for public comment but recorded none. The meeting notice was attached to the agenda and the Chair reiterated that regular action meetings are broadcast on Comcast channel 28, Verizon FiOS channel 32, livestreamed on the district website, and recorded for future broadcast.

Board members also heard routine announcements of upcoming committee and board meetings, including a personnel committee meeting, a co-curricular committee meeting at Bensalem High School, a policy committee meeting, a second budget work session and the next regular action meeting. No executive session was held or announced.

The next procedural step implied by the vote is implementation of the agreement with Buck County Intermediate Unit 22, but the meeting record did not state when the search will begin, how the Intermediate Unit will be compensated, or which board member moved or seconded the motion. Those details were not specified on the record and are pending clarification from district staff.
