PERRYSBURG - Perrysburg Schools, in partnership with the Perrysburg Schools Foundation, is establishing a development program to continue the tradition of academic excellence.
As part of this plan, a full-time development director will be hired this summer to lead the effort of seeking financial gifts from alumni, supporters and those with an affinity for Perrysburg Schools.
The district retained Aly Sterling Philanthropy to assess Perrysburg Schools' fundraising potential, provide strategic direction and lead this recruitment effort.
A salary range has not been set for the new hired. Salary will be commensurate based on experience, said Matt Feasel, district treasurer and chief financial officer.
"The public school funding model is changing, and Perrysburg School District is taking proactive steps in facing these new fiscal realties," stated Thomas L. Hosler, superintendent. "This is a unique concept in traditional public schools: a revenue-generating position. This program's goal will be to enable the district to reduce our reliance on local tax dollars."
