In the wake of Upshur County’s recent failure to pass a school excess levy, the Foundation for Better Schools is intensifying its initiatives to bolster local education funding. Established in 1997, this vital organization has long acted as a connector between community support and the educational requirements of the area.

Don Nestor, president of the Foundation, emphasized the urgent need for increased financial resources to ensure that students receive the quality education they deserve. With the recent setback, the Foundation is mobilizing to raise awareness and funds to fill the gaps left by the unsuccessful levy.

Community members are encouraged to participate in various fundraising activities and donate to support educational programs and resources. The Foundation aims to create a sustainable model for funding that can adapt to the ever-changing needs of local schools. By rallying community support, the Foundation for Better Schools hopes to secure a brighter future for students in Upshur County.
