Board
The Kennett Consolidated School District (KCSD) Board is composed of nine voting elected officials and a non-voting member, the Superintendent. Board Members are designated by law to administer the District’s school system on behalf of the State of Pennsylvania.
Board members attend informational workshops, serve on committees and set the direction of the District by voting at public board meetings.
KCSD’s strength is its bilingual and multicultural community. In alignment with the District’s vision and mission, the Board charges our administration to build on that strength with an educational system that enables all of our students to succeed, no matter their origin or primary language.
