The West Linn-Wilsonville School Board held a virtual meeting on Monday, October 5. The following are highlights from that meeting.
Board, District Recognizes West Linn-Wilsonville Education Foundation — Receives $70,000 Donation
The Education Foundation's Joe Walters presented the check and provided the Board with an update regarding the nonprofit organization's activities in recent months. In light of the pandemic and recent challenges the foundation has encountered, the Education Foundation will go on hiatus during the 2020-21 school year to reevaluate its purpose and mission. It does, however, plan to continue its efforts toward bettering the West Linn-Wilsonville School District into the future.
The Board and Superintendent Dr. Kathy Ludwig thanked Joe Walters and the entire Foundation for their incredible efforts over the years in addition to the generous donation.
