BOARD OF DIRECTORS

Chalkboard is not your typical special interest group. We are a catalyst for identifying the kind of common-sense solutions that will bring a new level of quality to Oregon’s K-12 public schools. We are not outsiders suggesting changes from afar. We are parents and grandparents and community members and products of Oregon’s schools ourselves.

Chalkboard – an initiative of Foundations For A Better Oregon – is sponsored by a growing list of independent Oregon foundations. We were formed by five of Oregon's largest foundations, and now receive support from 20, mostly Oregon-based, foundations and charitable funds. Six foundations that provide the majority of our funding are represented on our board of directors.
