Governance & Stewardship

The Fallsvale Historic Schoolhouse effort is guided and protected through a clear stewardship framework provided by the Board of Directors of the Fallsvale Historic Schoolhouse, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. The Board governs through collaboration rather than consensus, ensuring that diverse perspectives inform decision-making without allowing individual preferences or personalities to stall or override the project’s purpose. Through this framework, restoration and preservation objectives are approached with care so that future use, education, and historical integrity remain aligned with the schoolhouse’s public purpose. Together, this governance and stewardship safeguard both the restoration phase and the long-term preservation of the Fallsvale Historic Schoolhouse.
