The Neshaminy School District Board of School Directors swore in new and returning members and completed organizational business at its meeting, electing Marty Sullivan as board president and Tina Hollenbach as vice president and appointing a solicitor for 2024.
Board members completed oaths of office before conducting organizational votes. After nominations, Marty Sullivan was elected president in a roll-call vote recorded as 8–0. The board then nominated and elected Tina Hollenbach as vice president, also by an 8–0 roll call.
The reorganizational business also included action item 5.01: by motion and second, the board appointed the law firm Begley, Carlin & Madio LLP as solicitor for the Neshaminy School District for a one-year term. The appointment specifies an hourly rate of $1.75 for calendar year 2024 and passed on an 8–0 vote. A representative who spoke after the vote thanked the board and said the firm looks forward to working with district leadership in the new year.
Superintendent Mr. Bone reported on recent district activities before the votes, noting holiday food drives ‘‘collecting literally tons’’ of donated food for families, musical performances by middle- and high-school ensembles, and that the high school Select Choir had advanced to a semifinal and could be supported via a public voting link that closes at 9 p.m.
There were no public comments signed up for the first public comment period. During the closing portion of the meeting, a board member reminded local volunteer fire companies about an upcoming meeting to explain paperwork for a volunteer firefighter tax rebate and wished the community happy holidays.
The meeting concluded after a motion to adjourn carried by voice and/or roll call.
