THE BOARD OF EDUCATION With the construction of Union High School's building in 1917, it became necessary to organ- ize a board to transact any business pertaining to the operation and maintenance of the school. The Burgettstown Smith Township Joint School Board was formed for this purpose. The Board is composed of a total member- ship of twelve; five members are from the Bur- gettstown Borough, and seven from Smith Township. These Board members are elected by popular vote for a six-year term. With every second year two new members are elected; re-elections are allowed. Members can serve more than six years on the Board. If a member resigns, another is appointed by the Board to finish his term. Current meetings are held on the second Tuesday of every month. At these meetings any thing concerning the operation of Union High School is discussed and acted upon. The School Board engaged building inspectors to come to the school this year and make plans for building improvements and constructions. Each school district pays for these operational costs through the School Board according to the num- ber of pupils enrolled at Union from the respec- tive districts. Pupils who attend Union from districts not included in the Joint School Board pay a monthly tuition fee to the Board. This organization has given satisfactory service to the Union High School students for the past twenty-nine years. We appreciate their cooperation. 10
