*All meetings will be held in the boardroom of the Administration Building, 403 Moul Avenue, Hanover, PA 17331 unless otherwise noted.*
Citizens Welcome at School Board Meetings
All citizens of Hanover are encouraged to attend public school board meetings. Any resident or taxpayer of the district may address the Hanover Public School District Board of Education.
A time is offered at the beginning of each meeting for Borough residents who have requested to speak during the meeting. Requests must be made to the School Board by 10 AM on the day of the meeting. Comments should be kept to approximately five minutes. Exceptions to this provision may be waived at the discretion of the Board President.
Borough residents may address the School Board on any subject at the end of the meeting during designated “Public Comment” agenda Item. Comments should be kept to approximately five minutes.
Follow the rules. Public participation is allowed, but not at the expense of an orderly, efficient meeting.
Parental Questions and Concerns
Parents should feel free to call the school their child attends with questions and concerns. The chain of communication begins with that school. Any parent coming before the Board with a concern will be asked if he or she has approached the building principal. When you have a concern, call or make an appointment with the teacher, counselor or principal who will have the right information to help you.
With certain exceptions, the Board of School Directors meets monthly on the
second and fourth Monday at 6:00 p.m. in the Board Room of the Administration
Building. Board meetings are posted on the district calendar. All Board meetings are
publicly noted in compliance with legal requirements.
Handicapped Visitors
The district wants to provide equal access to its buildings for all citizens of the community. Handicapped individuals who wish to visit our schools are advised to contact the building administrator in advance. The administrator will then be able to make special arrangements for seating or other assistance at needed.
