Neshaminy Appoints Acting Superintendent

The Neshaminy School Board has unanimously appointed Dr. Gloria Hancock as acting superintendent effective immediately, the district announced Tuesday night. Hancock was most recently the assistant superintendent for the district.

The appointment was approved during the Tuesday evening school board meeting.

Hancock will replace Dr. David Baugh, who left as acting superintendent to take a position with the Centennial School District.

Under the terms of the maximum one-year agreement, Dr. Hancock will be paid an annual salary of $166,400 as acting superintendent and receive the same benefits package that she had as assistant superintendent.

The contract will end when a new superintendent is hired; at that point Dr. Hancock will return to her previous position under the terms of her original contract.

Either side can also cancel the one-year acting superintendent contract with 60 days notice, the district said.
