Dear Centennial School Board: We Spoke. Many of You Did Not Listen. And Now We Voted You Out

To Board President Mary Alice Brancato, Mr. Mark Gindhart, Mr. Flemming Godiksen, Mr. Michael Hartline, and Dr. Kathleen Maguire:

In May 2025, you went against the Centennial community’s wishes in a big way. After a total of three hours of community comments begging you not to hire Dr. Abram Lucabaugh as our next superintendent, you went ahead and confirmed him anyways.

We tried to warn you. Some residents spoke on how divisive the Central Bucks community became under Dr. Lucabaugh’s leadership when he was superintendent there. Some reminded you that the voters of Central Bucks School District Board flipped their school board after Dr. Lucabaugh worked in parellelwith the previous Moms for Liberty-aligned school board majority. We told you that we did not like this decision, and there were comments that spanned everything from reasoned and factual, to impassioned and pleading.

We gave media interviews. We talked to our neighbors. You did not listen.

All the MAGAs were voted off the School Board, after years of divisive, unproductive meetings, bitching over library book bans, etc. etc. They're out and a new group of Democrats just won with the promise of open meetings and peaceful compromise.
