Federal and state funding, even with local tax support, is no longer enough to provide the educational fundamentals required for our children to be competitive. Local school districts may be forced to let important education programs go by the wayside, forcing them to do their best with only the bare essentials.   That’s why the Jefferson County Schools Education Foundation is standing up and speaking out for the Jefferson County School District.

This non-profit organization exists because of incredible people—parents, teachers, school and community leaders, and alumni—who commit their time and resources to assuring that a quality, public education is available to every child—regardless of family status or income.  

We realize that a child’s capacities are not fixed at birth and understand that it is the family and local community that shape

our earliest learning.  We believe that by investing in childhood education, we’re investing in the future of our community.

Local property taxes and state funds are the traditional cornerstones of school budget revenues.  These revenue sources are in jeopardy and It’s not likely that additional traditional funding will be available. That's why we need YOU!
