Pennridge School District is considering its first elementary redistricting in more than a decade to address uneven enrollment, with rising student numbers in areas like Bedminster and Sellersville and declining counts in schools serving communities like West Rockhill. Two draft options are on the table, and a final proposal is expected in March, with implementation planned for 2026-2027. Officials are also studying departmentalized teaching for grades 4 and 5 to deepen subject expertise and save about $40,000 in science materials, eyeing a possible rollout in 2027-2028, while a new hands-on STEM+M middle-school curriculum (science, technology, engineering, mathematics and medicine) — largely funded by a $1.5 million grant from the U.S. Navy — could launch in 2026-2027.
