Berdnik has served as Pennsbury’s CFO since 2019, overseeing the district’s finances through the COVID-19 pandemic and into a period of significant capital expenditures. The district is planning a new high school in Falls Township, a project expected to cost hundreds of millions of dollars and lead to years of anticipated tax increases.
Prior to his time in Pennsbury, Berdnik worked for the Bensalem Township and Centennial school districts.

During his time at Pennsbury, he also led the high school’s speech and debate team.
Berdnik did not publicly state his reasons for leaving Pennsbury for the smaller Palisades.
“It’s been an honor to serve the Pennsbury School District,” Berdnik told LevittownNow.com. “I surely will miss my speech and debate students.”
