The Board of Education

Who serves on your Board of Education?

Our nine member Board of Education is an elected body comprised of residents of Stafford Township. As Board members, they establish policies and oversight for the Stafford Township School District.

Board members fulfill three-year terms and serve the residents and children of Stafford Township without pay. These Board members make important decisions that affect the educational offerings to our children, but welcome and encourage the public to take an active role in the educational process as well. Members of the community can attend all Board meetings to ask questions and express opinions. The Board of Education members are:
