EAST ROCKHILLÂ â For the second month in a row, board Vice President Joan Cullen s attendance at the Jan. 6 rally in Washington, D.C that ended in violence dominated the public comment portion of the Feb. 22 Pennridge School Board meeting.Â
At the board s Jan. 26 meeting, Cullen condemned the violence, but defended her actions as being part of a peaceful rally to advocate for election integrity.
Several public comments that had been emailed were also read aloud at that meeting, which was held as a virtual meeting because of inclement weather. Not all the emails were read, though, after Michael Miller, the district s attorney and parliamentarian for the public comments portion of the meeting, reviewed the emails and found that some did not follow district policy regarding public comment.

EAST ROCKHILL â The family of a special needs student whose bus driver pleaded guilty to having committed sexual assault against her and another student has filed a lawsuit against Pennridge School District. The lawsuit seeks to hold Pennridge accountable for exposing the plaintiff and other students to easily avoidable abuse and mistreatment at the hands of James McIntyre, a bus driver hired to transport the victim from Pennridge to The Vanguard School, a school in Malvern, Pennsylvania that was better equipped to meet her special needs, a Jan. 14 release said.
McIntyre, now 79, of Hilltown, pleaded guilty in Montgomery County Court in 2016 to charges of institutional sexual assault, endangering the welfare of children and indecent exposure in connection with incidents that occurred between 2009 and 2015 while driving a van transporting the students, MediaNews Group archives show.
