Each year, The Foundation gives a check to The Las Lomitas Elementary
School District. The Joint Committee on Priorities (JCOP) develops
principles and recommendations pertaining to the allocation of funds
raised each year by The Las Lomitas Education Foundation. Pending
endorsement by The Foundation Board, the recommendations are submitted
to District’s Governing Board for approval. JCOP membership
includes The Foundation President, Foundation Vice-President, two
Ex-Officio Board Members from the District’s Governing Board
and the Superintendent.
The following set of basic principles was developed in the early
1990’s. It is reviewed annually.
- The District will provide information to The Foundation about how General Fund resources are allocated and utilized.
- The JCOP will submit an annual recommendation to the LLESD Governing Board regarding the development of District Priorities for Fundraising in the coming school year.
- Any donor-designated funds will be allocated to directed categories unless the donor’s wishes do not meet criteria and priorities identified by the LLESD Governing Board.
- Any undesignated funds will be allocated to the District’s General Fund for use by the Governing Board to meet District priority needs.
Last year, The Foundation raised 1.4 million dollars to support several critical areas for our children:
- Small class sizes
- Quality Teachers
- An enhanced curriculum
