Neshaminy board approves personnel items, SRO interagency agreement, contracts and a Rome trip in unanimous votes

The Neshaminy Board of School Directors voted unanimously to approve a bundle of personnel actions, an interagency agreement to secure a school resource officer (SRO) with Lower Southampton Township, contracted and professional services for the coming school year, and an overnight student trip to Rome.

Board president moved and the board approved agenda item 2.01 (exonerations), then followed with separate approvals for retirements, resignations and a series of master motions combining multiple personnel items (4.01–4.06 and 5.01–5.03). All personnel motions passed on voice/record votes of 7–0.

On agenda item 6.01, Mr. Rodriguez moved to approve an SRO interagency agreement among the Neshaminy School District, Lower Southampton Township and the Lower Southampton Police Department citing authority in the Public School Code of 1949 (section 617). The motion was seconded by Mr. Sullivan and approved 7–0; files were attached to the agenda packet.

The board also approved contracted services and a professional-services agreement for the 2023–24 school year (agenda items 6.02 and 6.03). Mr. Cirillo moved the master motion and Mr. Kovitz seconded; the items passed 7–0.

Finally, the board approved one overnight trip (agenda item 7.01) — a student trip to Rome, Italy — moved by Mr. Kovitz, seconded by Mr. Allen and approved 7–0 under board policy 618 for overnight student travel.

Where a motion or second was recorded on the transcript, the motion text, mover and seconder were stated in the meeting record. Several files and attachments were listed as part of the agenda packet; the board did not discuss substantive changes to any of the contract text during the meeting. The board closed by noting upcoming meetings and adjourning for the evening.
