Board of Education
The Delaware Valley Regional Board of Education has nine members elected by registered voters, to a 3 year term. Three members are elected from Holland, two from both Alexandria and Kingwood, and one from both Frenchtown and Milford. The board is responsible for making numerous policies and regulations. They are also given the task of perform the budget cuts. 2012 brought a change to the electoral process of these members. They voted to move the School Board elections from April to the November General Election. Those elected in 2009 (below) will be up for reelection in November 2012. The only seat contested in 2012 is Holland's.

Famous quotes containing the words board and/or education:
“Midway the lake we took on board two manly-looking middle-aged men.... I talked with one of them, telling him that I had come all this distance partly to see where the white pine, the Eastern stuff of which our houses are built, grew, but that on this and a previous excursion into another part of Maine I had found it a scarce tree; and I asked him where I must look for it. With a smile, he answered that he could hardly tell me.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“With a generous endowment of motherhood provided by legislation, with all laws against voluntary motherhood and education in its methods repealed, with the feminist ideal of education accepted in home and school, and with all special barriers removed in every field of human activity, there is no reason why woman should not become almost a human thing. It will be time enough then to consider whether she has a soul.”
—Crystal Eastman (1881–1928)
