Members of the
Sharpsburg/Norwood Board of Education

This data is from pages 6 and 7 of the 1914 Annual Report of The Norwood Schools

The Sharpsburg Special School District, Nos. 3 and 17, was created in 1868. Prior to that schools were operated by the Columbia and Millcreek Townships. When the Norwood City School District was formed, the spring election was replaced with a November election and the members of the old board stayed in office until January, 1905. The number of members was as follows: 1868-1892...3, 1892-1894...5, 1892-1914...6, and after 1914...5 members; the terms were 3 years in the period 1868-1905 and 4 years beginning in 1905

"Time is given in even years. The exact time is different in some cases by reason of resignation and special appointments."
