NEWTOWN, PA — Council Rock School District's Board of School Directors will hold a public school board meeting on Thursday to discuss district initiatives such as the approval of various funds, taxes, and further discussions related to a dual enrollment program with Gwynedd Mercy University for Council Rock juniors and seniors.

The meeting will cover matters to be voted on, including contracts between Council Rock and a business consulting firm, further partnership agreements with the Bucks County Intermediate Unit, and personnel actions for educators and other staff in the District.
