How You Can Help:

Your Contributions in Action: 

The Schools Foundation works diligently with each school system to identify their areas of greatest need: the focus is first and foremost on improving opportunities for student achievement.

Let's take a look at a real-world example of how The Schools Foundation can make positive change a reality.

Recently, when technology coordinators from each system informed The Schools Foundation of the pressing need for distance learning labs in area high schools, the Foundation located a generous corporate partner in Toyota Motor Corporation. With tremendous support from Toyota and other corporate partners that joined the effort, the Foundation was able to deliver a comprehensive, state-of-the-art Interactive Distance Learning Network to seventeen area schools. Courses never before offered in certain area schools will now be available through the miracle of interactive distance learning.

Today, The Schools Foundation believes that one of the most pressing needs of each of its constituent systems is support for technology and professional development. Both areas are among the last to be adequately funded in good times, and among the first to be cut in times when money is tight. Educating students in technology isn't simply a matter of buying more computers. It requires keeping teachers abreast of advancements in teaching methods critical to student achievement. The Schools Foundation will continue to identify and support technological advances and professional development for its teachers, both targeted toward improving the educational "product" available to public school students in Huntsville, Madison County and the City of Madison. Contributions from The Schools Foundation programs are distributed on a percentage basis to the three school systems based on average daily enrollment for each system.
