Cheltenham School District Foundation Board

Our successful board members have effectively raised funds that are granted directly to the classrooms of each of the seven schools in the Cheltenham School District. Each dedicated member offers a 2-year commitment of personal time including regular monthly meeting (2-3 hours), an annual one or two day retreat (5-6 hours) for strategic planning, an active role in and attend CSDF planned events, and have a determination to build, organize, and drive committees outside of regular meetings.
The Foundation strives to maintain a board rich with diverse experiences and leadership skills to move forward the ideas and programs of educators and students in our district."
