Pennsbury homecoming for former assistant business administrator
The Pennsbury School District has hired Kimberly Steffy, the district’s former assistant business administrator, to fill the vacant post of chief financial officer. Steffy’s three-year contract begins on August 15 with a starting salary of $200,000 and two percent annual increases. Steffy is the current director of business services for the Methacton School District in Montgomery County. She replaces Michael Gorski, who was hired in October 2025 and left the district a month ago.
