Each district has the responsibility of collecting taxes and building el- ementary schools. The principal aim of the joint school board is to have as fine a school system as possible without overtaxing the population. The school board allows the community to have access to school grounds including recreation areas, athletic fields, and the school buildings. The board contains several committees. The Athletic Committee works to improve Marple-Newtown’s sports program. The Prop- erties Committee is in charge of maintenance and construction in all the schools, and the Budget Committee handles the school dis- trict’s financial needs. The joint school board invites young people to attend its meetings on the third of each month. 11
