January Is North Penn School Board Appreciation Month

LANSDALE, PA --Public education is more than just learning the basic math, science, English and history; it’s a platform for students to reach their potential, the North Penn School District said in a recent press release.

Public education exists in part because individuals volunteer their time to make informed decisions about the issues facing education. Every January the North Penn School District celebrates these everyday heroes - the nine elected school board members who serve our students and educational system.

School directors volunteer, on average, 20 hours a month to help run the schools in our community.

The school board makes difficult decisions for the betterment of our students.

They vote on multi-million dollar budgets, hire staff, plan renovations and construction of buildings and much more.

During this month of recognition, we ask you to show your appreciation for their service. Thank them for advocating on behalf of our collective interests and making the difficult decisions. Most importantly, thank them for making our students’ success their priority.

The NPSD Board of School Directors will be recognized at the January 21st Board of School Directors Meeting.
