The three school boards provide oversight, approve policy and legal agreements, and meet jointly to review progress and discuss their shared vision. The steering committee, comprised of the Open Campus PA director superintendents, high school principals, technology directors, and union presidents from each school district and the Pennsylvania State Education Association (PSEA/NEA) uniserv representative meet on a regular basis and serve as the decision making body for Open Campus PA.

The board, administration, and faculty of each of the three districts have played a central role throughout the development and implementation of the partnership. Open Campus PA was launched in the summer of 2011 with a common vision of providing increased opportunities in an era of decreasing revenue through shared district resources. High School students have gained greater choice in the courses they take and method of delivery to break down barriers of time and space. Open Campus PA, the first initiative of its kind in the state, makes optimal use of collective resources to blur the lines between school districts. Open Campus PA is a unique collaboration between Manheim Township, Hempfield, and Penn Manor School Districts in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania.
