Dr. Joanna Wexler Appointed Next CBSD Superintendent

In an April 15 email to the CBSD community, School Board President Heather Reynolds and Vice President Susan Gibson announced the official appointment of Dr. Joanna Wexler as the district's next superintendent following the board's vote to approve her five-year agreement on April 14. 

Dear CBSD Community, 

We are pleased to officially announce that our school board approved a five-year appointment for Dr. Joanna Wexler as the district’s next superintendent at a special meeting last night. She is expected to begin her role on July 1, 2026. You can view the agenda and watch the meeting video via the district's website.

Throughout the search, Dr. Wexler distinguished herself not only through her experience, but through how she engaged with our community and approached the opportunity to lead Central Bucks. She showed up at every stage of the process, demonstrating a clear, thoughtful, and student-centered approach to leadership, grounded in collaboration, transparency, and a strong sense of purpose. At last week’s community forum, she answered tough questions directly, responding with honesty, clarity, and respect for the perspectives shared. 

Dr. Wexler has expressed a commitment to being a visible and engaged presence across Central Bucks. As she prepares to begin her tenure, she is developing an entry plan centered on listening and learning. This will include intentional opportunities to meet with students, staff, families, and community members across our district to better understand their experiences, perspectives, and priorities. That input will play an important role in helping to ensure a thoughtful, well-informed transition. More information will be shared in the coming months. 

Central Bucks is a strong and vibrant school district community. We are confident that Dr. Wexler is the right leader to build on that foundation and help guide us into our next chapter with integrity, care, and a clear vision for the future. 

Sincerely, 

Heather Reynolds 
School Board President 

Susan Gibson 
School Board Vice President
