The Lead
As local families prepare for the back-to-school push, the Neshaminy School District is set to receive a major boost in resources. State officials announced this week that the district has been awarded $516,521 from the Pennsylvania Commission on Crime and Delinquency’s School Safety and Security Committee. The funding targets both physical infrastructure upgrades and expanded student mental health services across district campuses.
The competitive grant program aims to address basic facility security and student well-being ahead of the 2026–2027 school year. Local administrators will outline specific project allocations and technology purchases in upcoming public communications as staff finalize preparations for the first day of classes on August 31.
