Centennial School District Board Meeting
I have never been to a school board meeting before, so I am not entirely sure what to expect. I know it is an open meeting, so I am sure there will be several parents of students in the district as well as citizens of area that will be affected by decisions made by the school board. In terms of the agenda, the board will undoubtedly discuss future school functions and the associated budgets, as well as personnel matters. This is a policy-making meeting so I do not expect there to be much input from the audience other than possible questions or concerns. Hopefully the board will address the agenda in an efficient and time effective manor and all disputes will be put to rest.
On October 8 2013 I was able to watch the Centennial School District Board meeting live via their website, which worked very much to my advantage because transportation was a major issue. The meeting took place at the town hall in Warminster, PA. The mission of the school board is to provide an environment for all of its students where they can maximize their potential in education and extracurricular activities with as little difficulty as possible. The school board specifically establishes and evaluates policies for operation of the schools, selects a Superintendent, approves a budget, levies taxes as a means of raising revenue, hires administration, establishes curriculum content, and adopts textbooks upon administrative recommendation. The members of the board include: President Dr. Andrew Pollock, Superintendent Dr. Joyce Mundy, Vice President Betty Huf, Asst. Secretary Kati Driban, and school directors Steven Adams, Michael Hartline, Charles Kleinschmidt, Jane Lynch, Mark Miller, and David Shafter.
The Centennial School district is compromised of schools from the borough of Ivyland and Upper Southampton Township and Warminster Township all located within Bucks County. The demographics for Bucks County are as follows (via http://quickfacts.census.gov/qfd/states/42/42017.html): Total
