2007 Chapman Family Campaign

Chapman families should feel proud of how well the school is doing: Enrollment is robust, we have our new technogy instructor, and students continue to benefit from music, library and P.E. You can hear the kids practicing for the K-2 musical, Cinderella. However, we can always do more. To continue what we have built, we need to raise $75,000 this Spring. Please donate any amount to the Family Campaign. Look for a donation form attached to your copy of the Spotlight newsletter. And, if you work for a company that matches donations, please ask them to provide a match. It will really stretch your money.

The Chapman Educational Foundation raises money to support the school’s educational plan as developed by the Principal in consultation with parents and teachers.

The Foundation was established in 1994 to generate resources urgently needed to restore and sustain high-quality education for the students of Chapman Elementary School. The Foundation each year strives to replace declining public revenues with contributions from Chapman families and other supporters. When it began, the work of the Foundation was simple: to communicate the need for financial support to those willing and able to replace revenues lost through tax limitation ballot measures.

A decade later, we still lack a dependable and adequate public education funding solution, and funding continues to erode. The financial support received now is as compelling as ever.

Why do we need the Chapman Educational Foundation? As established by School Board Policy in 1994, school foundations are the only way a school can raise funds to pay for school personnel, or full-time equivalents (FTE). However, the Foundation is not limited to purchasing only FTEs. The Chapman Educational Foundation can, if the Principal so desires, use the funds for other critical needs within our school. Traditionally, though, the funds raised by the Foundation have been used to purchase FTEs for music, library, literacy, and child development
