Jenkintown School Board Brief

Dear School Community,

We hope everyone enjoyed the summer months. There is excitement in the air as we approach the start of the 2023-24 school year, and our teachers are getting their classrooms ready to welcome our students back. We thank everyone in our District who worked hard this summer to get our buildings ready for the hustle and bustle of over 700 students. Enjoy your last days of summer!

Warmly,

Dr. Megan O'Brien, President
