Members of the Bucks County Technical High School’s governing body will try Tuesday night to make some progress on revising the comprehensive tech school’s funding formula.

A proposal has been under consideration for several months where the special education part of the formula would go from a charge for each sending district based on a percentage to a charge based on actual usage. But not all of the six sending districts are in favor of the change.
BCTHS serves the Bensalem, Bristol, Bristol Township, Morrisville, Neshaminy, and Pennsbury school districts.

The joint board’s implementation/assessment committee will meet at 6:30 p.m. at the tech school off Wistar Road in Bristol Township to see what can be done to try to reach some resolution, officials said.

The implementation/assessment meeting will be followed at 8 p.m. by the joint board committee’s regular voting session. Call 215-949-1700 for more information.
