Join Our Board

The WLWV School Foundation is coming back — and we need your voice to help make it a reality.

A Launch Committee is already at work, but to officially re-establish the foundation, we must form a Board of Directors. This is a crucial step to file our paperwork and apply for 501(c)(3) nonprofit status.

We're inviting parents and community members to submit their interest in joining the board and help support our students and teachers. Our goal: one voice from every school to ensure all are heard and supported.
