The Neshaminy Board of School Directors unanimously approved a slate of routine and substantive items at its meeting, including new substitute teacher pay rates, a reaffirmation of the district COVID-19 health and safety plan and adoption of the Bucks County Intermediate Unit (BCIU) budget.
In a master consent motion, the board approved minutes, the treasurer’s reports, the check register and procurement card purchases, budget transfers, investments and exonerations. That motion passed 7–0.
On personnel matters, the board approved a master motion covering retirements, resignations, appointments, leaves of absence and co‑curricular appointments, also by a 7–0 vote.
Substitute teacher pay (item 3.05) was approved as presented, effective Feb. 21, 2024. The board adopted new per‑diem rates of $125 for daily substitute teachers; $170 for long‑term substitutes after the 20th day of an assignment; and $160 for building‑based teachers. The motion to adopt those rates was moved by Miss Sprocious, seconded by Mister Rodriguez, and carried 7–0.
The board also reaffirmed the Neshaminy School District Health and Safety Plan (item 6.04) as required by the U.S. Department of Education, subject to any changes required by applicable government agencies or additional guidance. That resolution was moved, seconded and approved unanimously.
On regional services, the board approved the Bucks County Intermediate Unit Programs and Services and Instructional Materials and Research Services budget for 2024–25 in the amount of $2,404,997. Neshaminy’s share was listed as $112,967, an increase of $3,733 from the prior year. Missus Marshall moved the budget approval; Mister Rodriguez seconded and the measure passed 7–0.

Educational development items — including a student settlement agreement, approval of overnight trips and the 2024–25 school calendar — were approved as a grouped motion.
All recorded motions during the meeting passed unanimously with recorded outcomes of “motion passes 7–0.” No motions were tabled, defeated or postponed.
