The business community is pulling together to create the Foundation for Wicomico Public Schools that will provide assistance to improve the local educational system.
The non-profit is being organized by the Greater Salisbury Committee and the Salisbury Area Chamber of Commerce.
Mike Dunn, president and CEO of the Committee, told the Salisbury Daily Times that the concept is in its infancy.
He says the goal is to get business involved in the educational system and to improve the image of the public school education.
Dunn told the paper that Worcester County already has a similar organization which will be used as a model for Wicomico County.
Wicomico County Public Schools superintendent Donna Hanlin issued a statement supporting more community involvement in the educational system.
Dunn was in charge of the Corporate Donors for Delmarva Public Radio.
