Should the proposed Neshaminy consolidation plan be put to referendum on election day?
That is the question asked by nearly a half-dozen attendees of Tuesday night’s school board meeting.

Levittown resident Jim Jenca told the board he “felt it was their duty and obligation” to ask the voters whether they approve of the proposed plan to close several schools, building a new elementary building and renovate others.
The board had little comment on the issue.
The district is currently looking at a plan that will close Samuel Everitt, Oliver Heckman and Lower Southampton elementary schools in favor of a $35 million “super” school at the Tawanka site. A large addition to Pearl S. Buck Elementary School in Middletown and needed renovations to the remaining buildings would round out the $50 million project. If the plan goes forward, redistricting would be necessary.

District officials have said in the past that public hearing and more discussion would take place before any decision is made.
