[edit] School Board
The FWCS Board of School Trustees serves as the district's governing and fiscal body, and its meetings are open to the public in the Grile Administrative Center in downtown Fort Wayne and broadcast on local cable channel LTV-54. The School Board approves the FWCS tax rate and any borrowing that will be paid off by property taxes. Current FWCS board members include Pamela Martin-Diaz, Jon Olinger, Michelle "Mitch" Shephard, Carol Coen, Steve Corona, Mark GiaQuinta, and Kevin Brown.
On April 23, 2007, the School Board voted to fight a remonstrance by property tax payers in the FWCS district opposing a $500 million Facilities Improvement Plan. The organization Code Blue Schools led the remonstrance. Remonstrance petitions were submitted to the Allen County Auditor on July 1, 2007. Those against the $500 million bond issue submitted over 33,000 signatures, in contrast with the 11,000 signatures collected in favor of the bond issue.
