The Board
Under Pennsylvania law, school boards are composed of nine members. The term of office is four years. Directors are elected in odd years (e.g. 2015 and 2017), with four seats up for election one year and the other five seats up for election two years later. The seats can either be at-large or districted (in East Penn, all seats are at-large). To serve on a school board, one must be: A citizen of Pennsylvania Of good moral character At least 18 years old A resident of the school district for at least one year prior to election or appointment The current members of the East Penn School Board are: Name Began Service Current Term Ends Carol Allen 2015 2019 Ken Bacher, Vice President 2011 2019 Charles Ballard 1995 2019 Paul Champagne 2015 2019 Chris Donatelli 2015 2019 Alan Earnshaw, President 2001 2017 Rebecca Heid 2009 2017 Ziad Munson 2013 2017 Waldemar "Wally" Vinovskis 2016 * 2017 * Mr. Vinovskis also served on the board from 2013-2015.
