Trenton residents or those who work in Trenton are welcomed to apply! Must attend one meeting prior to filling out the application. Board meets once a month on the 3rd Wednesday of the Month at 7pm at the School Board office. This is a volunteer non-profit 501C3 board, operated independently of the Trenton Public School board.
Our Board of Directors are here because education and experience is important to them personally. They may have children with Trenton Public Schools now or have had children or relatives graduate from Trenton, Michigan schools. Interested parties from all walks of life are able to attend a meeting to see if it's a good fit for them. They are business owners and educators and community leaders. They care about Technology, Scholastic, The Arts, Social, Emotional & Physical Health, Professional Development
