Every penny raised through the Back to School campaign goes directly into our schools.  And every school receives support from our campaign.  Each school in the district is awarded $2 per student in compliance with the School Improvement Plan (SIP) funding.  SIP funding is used by the school to address areas of need identified by each school.  Once SIP funding is distributing, the Foundation awards the remaining dollars to teacher grants.
