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, 65 Pa. C.S. 701, 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. Under the Pennsylvania Sunshine Act there are three exceptions to the general rule that meetings must take place in public. Those three exceptions are:

  1. Executive Sessions – A school district is permitted to hold an executive session for specific purposes that will be described later in this memo.
  2. Conferences – A school district is authorized to participate in a conference, which need not be open to the public, where there is no deliberation of agency business. For example, if the Board were listening to an administrative presentation on a particular subject and there will be no deliberation on the subject, it could be done through conference.
  3. Certain Working Sessions – Boards of auditors may conduct working sessions not open to the public for the purposes of examining, analyzing, discussing, and deliberating the various accounts and records with the Boards who are responsible, so long as official action with respect to the audit would take place at a public meeting.

The following are the only reasons for an executive session:

  1. Discussions of any matter involving the employment, appointment, termination of employment, terms and conditions of employment, evaluation of performance, promotion, or disciplining of any employee or similar issues.
  2. To hold information, strategy, and negotiating sessions relating to the negotiation or arbitration of a collective bargaining agreement or any issues relating to discussions pertaining to compensation plans.
  3. To consider the purchase or lease of property up to the time an option to purchase or lease is obtained or up to the time an agreement to purchase or lease such property is obtained.
  4. To consult with an attorney or other professional advisor relating to information or strategy in connection with litigation or with an issue in which there is a specific complaint or one expected to be filed.
  5. To review items if discussed in public would violate a privacy right, the attorney/client privilege, or some other type of privilege or lead to the disclosure of information or confidentiality protected by law, including matters relating to the conduct of investigations of violations of law, or deliberations relating to a student expulsion, an employee termination, or any item that would violate the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act.
  6. To plan, review or discuss matters related to school safety if a public discussion would be reasonably likely to impair the effectiveness of such measures; or create a likelihood of jeopardizing the safety or security of an individual or a school, including a building, public utility, resource, infrastructure, facility or information storage system.

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.

Right To Know

Manheim Township School District is currently closed consistent with the Governor’s Emergency Declaration issued in response to the COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic. During this mandated closure, Manheim Township School District may not be able to respond to requests for public records under the Pennsylvania Right-to-Know Law. The Office of Open Records (OOR) has advised that when a public entity is closed, that day is not a “business day” and does not count toward the five business days referenced in Section 901 of the RTKL, which governs the time period under which an agency must respond to a request. Consequently, Manheim Township School District will process requests once it reopens. Further, unless you have an urgent need to access public records, please do not file any new RTKL requests at this time. If submitting a request is necessary, please seek copies of records (preferably electronic) rather than in-person inspection. In-person inspection of records will not be possible during the current closure. Thank you for your patience during this unprecedented time.

Act 3 of 2008, the revised Right to Know Law, provides for access to public records.

The school district’s Right to Know Officer is Dr. Robin Felty, Superintendent.

Right to know requests can be directed to
Fax: 717-735-1744
Email: davidsje@mtwp.net
Mail: Dr. Robin Felty, PO Box 5134, Lancaster PA 17606-5134
Costs: $.25 per page for copies plus actual cost of postage

The PA Office of Open Records has been established to enforce the law and to serve as a resource for citizens. The PA Office of Open Records can be found at openrecords.state.pa.us

The Right To Know Request Form can be downloaded here.

Manheim Township School District School Board Policy 801 regarding Public Records is available here.

Questions may be directed to Jenn Davidson at 717-560-3110.
