The survey will close at 11:50 p.m. on Thursday, July 16. The entire survey will take residents about 10 minutes to complete.
Former Superintendent Dr. Sam Lee left Bristol Township to lead the Bensalem School District. Currently, Dr. Melanie Gehrens, currently the supervisor of secondary curriculum and instruction, will work on a monthly basis until the board votes to hire a full-time superintendent. Gehrens will earn a monthly stipend of $1,200 in addition to her current yearly salary of approximately $132,000.
“The search for Dr. Lee’s replacement will be deliberate, exhaustive and focused on the continued advancement of Bristol Township Schools,” a school board statement released in June said. “Knowing we have a skilled and capable team to work with during this transition will allow us to conduct a thorough search and make the process as seamless as possible for all involved. A decision need not, and will not, be made in haste.”
