To formalize your school-business partnership, you will need to obtain an official Beginning
Partnership Certificate from The Education Alliance and plan a signing
ceremony. Signing ceremonies are often held at school assemblies,
PTO meetings and other special functions.
This is the initial certificate provided to
every new partnership. Partnerships already having a certificate under the old program will not
be issued a new Beginning Partnership Certificate to replace their old
certificate.
This feature is available to all K - 12
principals in public schools throughout West Virginia. If you do not

Existing partnerships which have a Beginning Certificate may apply for the
Intermediate or Advanced Certificate, using the criteria below.
Intermediate Partnership Certificate
Any partnership in existence at least one year is eligible to apply for a
prestigious Intermediate Partnership Certificate. To apply, a partnership
simply faxes a one-page summary outlining activities it is currently doing
that correlate to the attributes of an Intermediate Partnership described
on page 16. A cover sheet faxed along with
the summary must include contact information (name of school, name of
business partner, address and phone number for both, as well as the
contact names for the school and the business) and signatures of the
school’s principal, a business partner representative and the county
superintendent. Partnerships must fax the cover sheet and summary to The
Education Alliance at (304) 342-0046 to be considered for this
certificate.
Advanced Partnership Certificate
Any partnership holding an Intermediate Certificate for at least one year
or any partnership in existence for at least three years is eligible to
apply for the prestigious Advanced Partnership Certificate. This
certificate means that your partnership is focused on academics and is
clearly one of America’s most exemplary school-business partnerships. This
level of partnership should be mentoring other partnerships, helping them
to focus on academics and student achievement. To apply, a partnership
must submit a two-page summary outlining the activities it is
currently doing that correlate to the attributes of an Advanced
Partnership described on page 16. A cover sheet attached to the summary
must include contact information (name of school, name of business
partner, address and phone number for both, as well as the contact names
for the school and the business) and signatures of the school’s principal,
a business partner representative and the county superintendent.
Partnerships should fax the cover sheet and summary to The Education
Alliance at (304) 342-0046 to be considered for the Alliance’s most
coveted partnership certificate.
