The Taylor County Board of Education decides the policies of education in the county and selects a superintendent as its administrative officer. The present Board members are Harold Debendarfer, president, William A. Collins, J. Paul Murphy, Paul P. Warden, and Chester Blue. Mr. Virgil Rohrbough is secretary by virtue of his office as county superintendent. The Board meets every third Thursday. The only exceptions are: a meeting on the first Monday in May, at which the teachers are hired, the first Tuesday in August, held to estimate the levy, and the third Tuesday in August, held to lay the levy. The Board is limited to eighteen meetings a year. The salary of a Board member, ten dollars per meeting, is small in comparison to the amount of work and the time given in valuable county service. Mr. J. Lee Evans, whose term expired on July 1, 1952, has been a member of the Board ever since its creation in the present form. BOARD Of EDUCATION left to right: Paul P. Worden.
