This Week in Review

On Monday, Aqua began replacing water transmission lines along Bristol Road, Brownsville Road and Philmont Avenue. Because of this project, which will take six to eight weeks, a portion of Brownsville Road is closed.

The Feasterville Business Association awarded two recent Neshaminy High School grads, Jonathan Bell and Chris Kutsubos, $1,200 college scholarships.

The National Weather Service issued an excessive heat warning for Wednesday and Thursday. Between the hot temperatures and high humidity, the heat index made it feel like it was about 100 degrees both days.

On top of the heat, the area got hit by severe thunderstorms and hail Thursday.

In addition to a number of other incidents, Lower Southampton Police investigated graffiti found near Ferderbar Elementary's gym doors.

The Neshaminy School Board and Neshaminy Federation of Teachers met in their 43rd negotiation session, in which no progress seems to be made. The union has filed an unfair labor practice challenging the district’s "disingenuous participation in the negotiation process over the past four years."

During the last negotiation session, the NFT presented the school board with a contract proposal, which the board subsequently rejected. School Board President Ritchie Webb said that the administration estimates the total cost of the NFT proposal at $32,936,684.00, of which $21,414,105.66 is payable out of this year's budget.
