January is School Director Recognition Month!
Some interesting facts on School Board Directors:
. 4,500 school directors serve Pennsylvania's 500 public school districts;
all boards have nine members.
. School director elections are held every two years, on a 5-4 rotation to
ensure continuity.
. All school directors are elected to four-year terms.
. All serve as volunteers, without pay.
. School Directors are key decision-makers on issues such as school safety
and security, budgeting, policy, hiring and textbooks.
. Pennsylvania school directors continue to keep adequate school funding
at the top of the list of the most important educational concerns
facing public schools.
We thank all nine of our Board Members who serve our students, staff and community for their dedication to the education of our students. This school year has been an unprecedented year and the challenges have been great; not only on our students and staff, but the Board as well. They continue to place the educational and safety needs of our students as their highest priority.
Take a moment to say thank you to our Board Members!
