The required Act 34 public hearings for James Buchanan Elementary School on Haines Road and Ralph Waldo Emerson Elementary School on Mill Creek Road in Levittown have been set for early next month, Bristol Township School District officials announced.
The hearing for Buchanan will begin at 6 p.m. and the Emerson one will start at 7 p.m. in the auditorium of the Ben Franklin School on Mill Creek Road in Levittown on Oct. 10, Superintendent Dr. Samuel Lee said.

Act 34 hearings will allow the district to outline the plans to close the current nine elementary schools and replace them with at least two new ones. A third school’s plans are still waiting zoning board approval.
Public comment will be accepted and entered into the record during the meeting. Lee said the district and the new school planning team will present information similar to what was presented at community meetings on the proposed project earlier this year.
The hearings are required of any district before embarking on a large school closing, reconstruction or expansion project.
