DOYLESTOWN, PA — Dr. Joanna Wexler was officially sworn in as the Central Buck School District's new superintendent on Friday by the Honorable Stephen A. Corr during a ceremony at the Bucks County Justice Center.
In attendance at the brief ceremony were Central Bucks School Board President Heather Reynolds and Vice President Susan Gibson.
"Central Bucks is a strong and vibrant school district community," said Reynolds and Gibson. "We are confident that Dr. Wexler is the right leader to build on that foundation and help guide us into our next chapter with integrity, care, and a clear vision for the future."
Under her new five-year contract with the district, she is scheduled to start her new job as the district's head administrator on July 1.
"Dr. Wexler has expressed a commitment to being a visible and engaged presence across Central Bucks," the board leaders said. "As she prepares to begin her tenure, she is developing an entry plan centered on listening and learning. This will include intentional opportunities to meet with students, staff, families, and community members across our district to better understand their experiences, perspectives, and priorities. That input will play an important role in helping to ensure a thoughtful, well-informed transition."
Dr. Wexler is coming to the Central Bucks School District from the Great Valley School District in Chester County, where she is assistant superintendent.
Before becoming assistant superintendent, Dr. Wexler served as director of special education and student services in Great Valley for six years, where she led district-wide programs supporting students with diverse learning needs. During that time, she implemented evidence-based initiatives such as the Wilson Reading System, developed the Language for Learning early literacy program, helped implement the PREPARE crisis response model, oversaw the Safe2Say program, and restructured special education staffing and gifted support services to improve outcomes.
Dr. Wexler began her career in education in 1997 as a teacher assistant of specialized instruction at the Montgomery County Intermediate Unit. She later served as a school psychologist and student services leader in several Pennsylvania districts, including Exeter Township, Souderton Area School District, and Lower Merion School District. Dr. Wexler has also taught at the undergraduate and graduate levels.
