School Board to Reorganize

The West Chester Area School Board will hold its annual reorganization meeting on Monday, at 7 p.m. as the board prepares to move into 2013.

The reorganization meeting allows the board to elect a new president, vice president and reassign the board’s committees if need be.

While appearing not all that important, the reorganization meeting can lead to a shift in the tone in how meetings, particularly committee meetings are run.

In committee meetings, the president can allow the meeting to act as a kind of dialogue with the public, or the president can limit comment until designated time periods.

Either way, the president ultimately has control over how the public interacts with the board.

This meeting, unlike other recent board meetings, will be held in the Spellman Administration Building located at 829 Paoli Pike, West Chester, at 7 p.m.
