The Board of School Directors is comprised of nine members. These members are elected locally to act as a corporate body in fulfilling within the Lower Merion School District the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania's obligation to provide public education.
School Directors are elected at municipal elections on odd-numbered years to serve four-year terms beginning on the first Monday in December following their election. The major responsibility of the Board is to set policies that define the nature of public education from Kindergarten through the 12th grade.
Parents and residents are encouraged to attend the Board's Business Meetings and the Education Committee Meetings. Formal action is taken only at the Business Meetings. Time is set aside for questions, comments or suggestions from the public at the beginning of each meeting. All meetings begin at 8:00 PM and are held in the Lower Merion High School library.
