The Difference is YOU!
Being ranked as a top school district year after year does not happen by accident. Since, 1980, the financial support from parents and community members to LPIE has been a sustained source of funding for our public schools.
The assumption that our tax dollars adequately fund public education is simply not true. Our state provides barely enough to fund the basics-not the enriched educational opportunities that we expect for our children. LOCAL SUPPORT IS CRITICAL.
To bridge the gap of inadequate state funding we suggest a gift of $1,500 per student. We encourage you to give an amount that is meaningful to your family. Our goal is 100% participation by all Lafayette School families and every dollar counts.

CALIFORNIA UNDERFUNDS EDUCATION
Lafayette Schools are among the best in the state, but inadequate state funding, means our community needs to raise over $3 million to continue to deliver the exceptional educational experience we have come to expect in Lafayette. The facts are:
- California is 41st in Education Funding per student
- LafSD receives XYZ less per student than the average California school
- State funding covers the bare minimum needed to meet graduation requirements. Lafayette understands this is not
enough for our students.
- Prop 13 limits property taxes, reducing funding to our schools
To bridge the gap between state funding and the actual cost of your child’s education we suggest a gift of $1,500 per student. We encourage you to give an amount that is meaningful to your family. Our goal is 100% participation by all Lafayette School families and every dollar counts.
