More needs to be done for the Morrisville district, the taxes for residents to fund this school are outrageous. Fir the taxes we pay this school should be top notch which it is not, Morrisville needs to be combined with Pennsbury and all of our tax $ pooled together to give more kids better schooling not just a grant here & there to appease residents of Morrisville.

The Morrisville – Pennsbury idea has been floating around for years and so far, its barely gone beyond election season talk. And as one former Pennsbury School Board Member said “we don’t want them here.”
