The Board of Education consists of nine elected members serving terms of four years; terms of office are staggered so that there is a constant balance between experienced and new members sitting in session during the operation of the schools. The directors are responsible for the total operation of the public schools and are empowered to construct buildings as needed, raise monies for operating expenses, and formulate policies for personnel who are employed by the district. The directors also have a representative (Mr. Lengel) on the board of the Mercer County Career Center, located at 776 Greenville Road, Mercer, PA 16137. Phone: 724-662-3000.
