About The School Board
The Manheim Township School Board of Directors is made up of nine community members elected to serve four-year terms. Public board meetings are held the second and third Thursdays of each month, except July and December, with additional meetings scheduled as needed. Board members also hold board development and workshop sessions throughout the year.
At times our School Board may need to attend Executive Session meetings. The Pennsylvania Sunshine Act requires that official action and deliberations by a quorum of the Board and most committees take place at a meeting that is open to the public. There are five exceptions to the open meeting requirement:
- Personnel issues
- Labor Relations
- Real Estate
- Litigation
- Confidential Information
These issues are discussed in Executive Sessions. Discussions that take place in Executive Session are to remain confidential. The purpose of the Executive Session must be declared at a public Board meeting. The public must be afforded the opportunity to address the Board before any action is taken.
School board members work together, through cooperative and effective leadership, to maintain and advance the quality and effectiveness of Manheim Township School district’s educational program.
School board members are elected by the community, volunteers serving the district without pay.
