 <\/p>\n

The foundation connects the community with the educational process through our many efforts providing resources to our teachers and students.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The Foundation is governed by a board of directors who are elected annually. The board of directors includes representatives from a variety of local and statewide businesses, as well as members of the Broken Arrow PTA.\u00a0 The advisory directors consist of BAPS district administrators, representatives from the City of Broken Arrow and other long-standing supporters of the foundation.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
