Neshaminy Schools Superintendent McGee Retires

LANGHORNE, PA —Neshaminy Schools Superintendent Rob McGee has retired from the school district after 36 years of service.

McGee —who had been placed on administrative leave by the district last February —had his retirement unanimously approved by the Neshaminy School Board at its meeting Tuesday night.

The board did not provide any comment about McGee or his resignation at the meeting.

McGee's resignation came as an agenda line item presented by Board President Tina Hollenbach for retirements, resignations, and end of assignments.

The board also accepted the resignation of security director Kevin Burns, who went on to take a similar position in the Centennial School District.

Chris Stanley, the district's director of communication, told Patch Wednesday morning that the board did not take any further action on the superintendent position.

"Nothing has been done yet regarding the process of naming the next superintendent," he said.

Jason Bowman, the district's director of secondary education, has served as substitute superintendent since McGee was placed on administrative leave.

Before becoming superintendent, McGee had served as Neshaminy's director of secondary education.
