School Director Meyer Resigns In Bensalem Township

BENSALEM TOWNSHIP, PA —The Bensalem Township School Board is getting an overhaul.

With four new members joining the board following the Nov. 7 general election, the school board will also be appointing a new director to fill a vacancy.

School officials said that School Director Jack W. Meyer has resigned.

The school board is expected to appoint a successor at its meeting Tuesday. The meeting takes place at 7:30 p.m. at the Dorothy D. Call Administrative Center, 3000 Donallen Dr.

The term would end on the first Monday of December 2025, school officials said.

The school board had sought applicants for the position over the past week.

The school board will see more changes at its reorganization meeting next month.

School Board President Eric Price and longtime member Marc Cohen lost their re-election bids in the Nov. 7 general election, according to unofficial results from the Bucks County Board of Elections.

Meanwhile, former School Director Stephanie Ferrandez and Democrats Karen Winters, Deborah King, and Rebecca Mirra will be joining the school board.

Longtime School Director Heather D. Nicholas, a Republican, finished second in voting to continue her streak as the longest-tenured board member.

Nicholas was recently honored for 16 years of service. She and Cohen, who served on the school board for eight years, were presented with certificates adding them to the PSBA “Honor Roll of School Board Service.”
