In a recent meeting of the local school board, officials reported a successful start to the school year at Middlebox, highlighting minimal transportation issues thanks to effective planning. The building's condition was praised, reflecting ongoing improvements similar to those seen in Central Bucks, where significant construction projects, including a new welding lab, are nearing completion.

The audit process for the district has commenced earlier than in previous years, signaling a proactive approach to financial oversight. Enrollment figures for the Little Bucks program have reached a record high of 990 students, surpassing previous years by over 100 students, indicating growing interest from the sending districts of Central Bucks, Centennial, Council Rock, and New Hope.

Additionally, the Middle Bucks Institute of Technology (MBIT) is set to host an open house on November 21st, aimed at attracting prospective students. Board members expressed enthusiasm about the facility and its offerings, crediting the new director for effectively analyzing enrollment trends and tailoring programs to meet student needs. This strategic focus has contributed to MBIT's significant growth in enrollment, with officials encouraging parents to bring their children to the open house, even if they have not previously expressed interest in vocational programs.

The next committee meeting is scheduled for September 23rd, followed by an executive meeting on October 1st, as the board continues to address educational developments in the district.
