The Foundation for Saline Area Schools wants the school board to invest $50,000 annually in an executive director position it says would generate $200,000 annually within three years.

At the December meeting, representatives of the foundation requested that the district invest approximately $150,000 over three years, allow the foundation to use space for an office at Liberty School, and help administer payroll. Over the years, the foundation has donated more than $400,000 to Saline Area Schools programs, ranging from $200 grants for after school programs to $65,000 to help the district buy the materials it needed for new science, technology, engineering and math curriculum at the middle school in 2010.
