The August 2025 Colonial School Board of Education Meeting will now take place on August 19th, 2025, at 7:00 pm in the William Penn High School Auditorium. This will allow the District and School Board time to thoughtfully consider a path forward and take any actions, if necessary, following the Special Legislative Session.
