The Center for School Study Councils Member Districts and Superintendents 2011 - 2012

The Center for School Study Councils is a collaboration comprised school districts organized into four separate study groups. While the original study councils were centered in the greater Philadelphia region, our membership has expanded east and west. Those districts extend as far east as the New Jersey coast and as far west as Franklin County, Pennsylvania (west of Harrisburg).
