The San Marino Schools Foundation is a nonprofit organization established in 1980 by parents and community members to raise money for the San Marino Unified School District. The Foundation’s fundraising efforts are necessary to maintain the quality of public education our community expects. Since 1980, we have provided over $25 million to the District.
Our District is facing a potential $2.3 million in cuts due to the State Budget crisis. So far, $1 million of cost savings have been made. But there remains a projected $1.3 million gap. If these cuts must be made, they will impact the staffing and program offerings at every school in the District. Most importantly, these cuts could translate into a 35% increase in class sizes. To fill this gap we are asking for a minimum donation of $800.
