The Board
Under Pennsylvania law, school boards are composed of nine members. The term of office is four years. Directors are elected in odd years (e.g. 2009 and 2011), with four seats up for election one year and the other five seats up for election two years later. The seats can either be at-large or districted (in East Penn, all seats are at-large). To serve on a school board, one must be: A citizen of Pennsylvania Of good moral character At least 18 years old A resident of the school district for at least one year prior to election or appointment The current members of the East Penn School Board are: Name Began Service Current Term Ends Ken Bacher 2011 2015 Charles Ballard, President 1995 2015 Lynn Donches 2011 2015 Alan Earnshaw, Vice President 2001 2013 Francee Fuller 2001 2013 Rebecca Heid 2009 2013 Michael Policano 2009 2013 Samuel "Sandy" Rhodes 2009 * 2015 Julian Stolz 2007 2015 * Mr. Rhodes also served as a Director from 2000 - 2005.
