Dr. Taylor will serve on the Board’s Council of Basic Education, which has the power and duty to develop a master plan for basic education throughout the Commonwealth. The Board also sets policy and promotes regulations regarding vocational and technical education in Pennsylvania.  

“I’m truly honored to serve on this impactful Board as a representative of Delaware County,” said Dr. Taylor. “I’m excited to use my experiences as an educator, a student, and a parent in the continued pursuit of providing accessible high-quality education to all Pennsylvanians.”
