501(C)(3) NONPROFIT ORGANIZATION

The Education Foundation is a separate nonprofit organization that works alongside the school district to provide additional opportunities for students and educators. While the school district is responsible for the day-to-day operation and funding of our schools, the Foundation raises private funds to support scholarships, teacher grants, innovative classroom projects, and other educational opportunities that may fall outside the district’s regular budget.

No. Education Foundation board members serve on a completely volunteer basis and are not compensated for their time or service. They give their time, experience, and resources because they believe in supporting our students, teachers, and schools. Keeping the board volunteer-led also helps ensure that Foundation funds can remain focused on its mission and the educational opportunities it supports.

There are many ways to get involved with the Education Foundation! Community members can support the Foundation by donating, attending or sponsoring events, volunteering, partnering with us as a local business, or helping spread the word about our mission. Whether you give your time, resources, or support, every contribution helps us create more opportunities for our students and educators.
