The Central Bucks Board of School Directors will formally name Dr. Abram M. Lucabaugh as the district’s next superintendent of schools at its regularly scheduled meeting 7:30 p.m. Tuesday, Aug. 31, subject to the execution of a mutually agreed upon contract.
Lucabaugh is a 17-year employee of the Central Bucks School District, having served as principal of Central Bucks High School East for 11 years before his appointment as assistant superintendent of secondary education in June of 2018. He has served since April 2021 as the acting superintendent for the Central Bucks School District.
Lucabaugh began his career in education as an English teacher at Hatboro-Horsham High School. Lucabaugh’s selection for appointment as superintendent follows a national executive search for qualified candidates facilitated by the Bucks County Intermediate Unit (Bucks IU).
The Central Bucks Board of School Directors invites the community to a community forum with Lucabaugh 7 to 8 .m. Monday, Aug. 16, in the auditorium at Central Bucks High School South located at 1100 Folly Road, Warrington. Student performances will start the program for the evening beginning at 6:30 p.m.
To allow maximum community participation, the event will be live streamed and recorded and made available online at the following link on the day of the event: https://www.cbsd.org/forum.
In addition to introductory remarks from Lucabaugh, the community forum will include time for a question-and-answer period facilitated by Dr. Mark Hoffman, executive director of the Bucks IU. The Central Bucks Board of School Directors welcomes input from district stakeholders on which themes should be covered in the questions presented to Lucabaugh. Community members are invited to submit up to two questions for consideration through either of the following website surveys: https://Go.BucksIU.org/CBSD or https://Go.BucksIU.org/CBSDespanol.
Due to the number of anticipated questions, not every question will be asked during the community forum. Instead, submitted questions will be organized by theme. Similar questions will be consolidated by these common themes to allow for Lucabaugh to address the maximum number of topics during this community forum. Lucabaugh will receive a copy of all submitted questions. The board has chosen this format in order to ensure that the maximum number of questions can be asked by the moderator in the time allotted. Questions may be submitted up until noon on Wednesday, Aug. 11.
