The Educational Service Agency shall be composed of three members, each of whom shall be a resident of the Township at least 18 years of age, who shall be appointed by the Board of Commissioners for three-year overlapping terms, coinciding with the calendar year, provided that in the case of the three individuals appointed at the time of establishment of the Educational Service Agency, the term of one shall expire on the first day of January 1981, the term of one shall expire on the first day of January 1982, and the term of any third member shall expire on the first day of January 1983.
No elected Township or School District official shall be eligible for appointment to or membership on the Educational Service Agency. A vacancy shall occur in the Educational Service Agency in the case of any member who ceases to be a resident of the Township or who resigns or otherwise becomes disqualified for appointment or membership.
Each member of the Educational Service Agency may, at the discretion of the Board of Commissioners, be required to furnish a bond in the amount and with the surety specified by the Township for the faithful performance of his or her duties as a member of the Educational Service Agency.
The function of the Educational Service Agency shall be to employ and supervise school crossing guards, also referred to as "special school police," to direct traffic at or near schools. In order to enable the Educational Service Agency to perform that function, the Township delegates to the Educational Service Agency the authority to appoint and supervise crossing guards or special school police in accordance with the First Class Township Code.[1]
