The Education Foundation is governed by a Board of Directors who serve without compensation. They include community leaders, alumni, and citizens who share a concern for the children who are students in the Albert Lea Area Schools (District 241).
Directors serve for a maximum of two consecutive terms, terms consisting of three years, after which a one year layoff is required. Meetings are normally held bimonthly during the odd months (February, April, etc.) at a place to be designated. Terms begin in February. Anyone interested in serving on the Board should contact any member or contact the Foundation at edfound.al@gmail.com.
The Board works in cooperation with the District 241 Board of Education to ensure that the activities of the Foundation are consistent with the District’s goals and policies.
The Board establishes the Foundation goals and objectives, solicits donations, directs investment of funds, and in general, oversees all operations of the Foundation.
