Schools Superintendent Named For Neshaminy

LANGHORNE, PA —The interim tag is no more for Jason Bowman.

After serving as substitute superintendent and currently acting superintendent, Bowman is now just schools superintendent.

The Neshaminy School Board Tuesday night approved a five-year contract for Bowman, filling the position held before by Superintendent Rob McGee was placed on administrative leave and then retired.

Before taking on the superintendent roles, Bowman served as the district's director of secondary education.

His new contract goes into effect on July 1 and runs through June 30, 2029, school officials said. Terms of Bowman's contract were not disclosed.

Bowman is married to Bucks County Court of Common Pleas Judge Denise M. Bowman.

McGee's retirement after 36 years with the school district was announced in late August.

McGee was placed on administrative leave last February in an agenda line item vote by the school board. School officials have never commented on why that decision was made.

McGee, a Neshaminy schools graduate, took over as head of the Neshaminy School District on July 1, 2020.

He replaced Superintendent Joseph Jones III, who left at the end of his contract to return to the classroom as a math teacher in the Philadelphia School District.

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

McGee's five-year contract paid $196,000 per year. His contract ran through 2025.
