The district on Tuesday posted a six-minute-long video featuring Neshaminy Director of Facilities and Maintenance Paul Minotti giving a tour of the roughly $30 million new school being built along Brownsville Road in Lower Southampton.

“Pretty much, it is about 95 percent complete,” Minotti said.

The school is nearing completion and expected to open in time for the first day of classes on August 31 for kindergarten and September 1 for the rest of the students.

Over the past few months, Ryan Brennan of Reynolds Construction Management has provides updates to the school board. He hasn’t reported any significant problems and has said neighbors have had few complaints.
