WE DID IT! $2 million in TFIN funds raised will be committed to the District. These funds -- in combination with the $1 million allocated from employee furlough savings -- will enable the District to rescind all 107 K-8 teacher pink slips, restore 20:1 class size in primary grades, and preserve our school communities! This is an exciting victory shared by all members of our community! We thank the dedicated volunteers who worked tirelessly to make this success possible, the donors who embraced this opportunity to preserve quality education, the business community for rallying behind our schools, and all district employees for their personal sacrifice in this shared effort.   Their Future Is Now!
