School Board

Members of the Ephrata School Board are elected by our community to four year terms.

The Ephrata School Board welcomes civil, respectful statements and clear, concise communications that inform its deliberations.The Board uses the public comment period as an opportunity to listen to citizen concerns, but not to debate issues or enter into a question-and-answer session. Public comment allows the Board and Superintendent to hear issues that interest our community. It is not a time for dialogue between the speaker, Board or Superintendent.

Public Comment Guidance

• Individual comments must be less than three minutes in duration. Each speaker is limited to one speaking opportunity on a given subject during a single meeting.

• The Board President may, at his/her discretion, interrupt, warn or terminate public commentary if it interferes with the orderly conduct of the meeting or does not adhere to the above parameters.
