Board Member Assignments
Ewing Township Board of Education
Board Member Assignments
2024
The Ewing School Board works as a "whole" so that all members receive the same information at the same time, discuss issues and options together and come to a mutual decision. By the whole board being able to give full consideration to issues, the district benefits from the best thinking of all board members. “Working as a Board of the Whole” by Toby R. Simon, NJSBA, is a useful explanation of this.
There are community and educational efforts that have traditionally required Ewing board member representation. These assignments are made by the Board President at the time the School Board re-organizes. What follows is a current list, with the primary designee listed first, and the alternate second, along with a brief description of the assignment. All representatives are encouraged to report on their respective assignments at Board meetings. Contact Dennis Nettleton to have your report included on the agenda.
Ad-hoc committees may be formed by the Board president at other times, due to certain key issues or activities being overseen by the board.
