Bethel Park Board of School Directors
The responsibility of the Board is to provide for students’ educational needs by establishing
budgets, hiring staff, providing facilities, establishing curriculum and determining policies.
All Board meetings are held at 7 PM in the Community Room of the Administration Building, and the
public is invited to attend and participate in all meetings. Except for August and December,
Committee Meetings are held the third Tuesday of each month for the purpose of allowing the

taken by the Board at these meetings, but generally, action is taken at the Regular (voting)

December. The Board does not have any meetings scheduled in July.
