It is administered by a nine-member Board of Trustees who represent various groups within the school community. The mission of the West Carrollton Education Foundation is to raise private funds from community individuals, businesses, and organizations and to distribute these funds as classroom grants for student enrichment.
The Board of Trustees is currently accepting applications for an opening on the board. More information can also be found at https://www.westcarrolltonschools.com/WestCarrolltonEducationFoundation.aspx
A fall fundraiser will be held on Thursday, Oct. 5 to help generate funding for future grants. For additional information about the foundation or the fundraiser, please contact Carrie Cummings, WCEF president, at [email protected].
