Public School Adopted in 43 By Warwick
This 1840s Warwick school history notes Warwick Township adopting the public school system in 1843 after a 1848 shift to tax support. A five member board led by David Frantz fixed a five cent tax rate, limited yearly schooling, and rented or bought school buildings while paying tuition for some students in Lititz.
