and teachers are built and developed, the role of our schools in the
broader community expands. This positive feedback loop makes
Lafayette a place we can all be proud of. Most importantly, we are
providing an environment for Lafayette’s children to grow, learn

The Value of LPIE
An Exceptional Education
Why do public schools need private donations?
When we were kids, our families took excellent public education for granted. California
schools were ranked as among the best nationally, with per-student spending at the top.
With the passage of Proposition 13 and other legal rulings, school districts were no longer
the beneficiaries of their community’s property taxes, and California’s per-pupil funding
plummeted. While it’s now back on the rise, California still lags in terms of education
spending as a percentage of the state’s budget. Local parcel taxes provide approximately
12% of the Lafayette School District budget and 16% of the Acalanes Union High School
District budget, but they do not completely fill the gap that remains from inadequate state
and federal funding. Your donations to LPIE help bridge that gap, allowing our schools to
educate our children at the level that our community demands by covering underfunded
programs such as science labs, instructional aides, music, writing, professional
development, counseling services, electives in middle and high school, and more.
The Lafayette School District owes a huge debt of gratitude to LPIE
for their very generous support of so many powerful programs that
motivate and inspire our students. It is often said that “it takes a
village to raise a child;” LPIE is such an integral and important part
of our village.
—Rachel Zinn, Superintendent, Lafayette School District
Acalanes would not sustain the robust academic offerings and
enriched educational opportunities without the support of LPIE.
State funding is simply inadequate for the high-quality education
our students and parents expect. It is the support of our parents
and community through organizations such as LPIE that enable
Acalanes to provide such incredible opportunities for our students.
—John Nickerson, Ed.D., Superintendent, Acalanes Union High School District
Every donation to LPIE is priceless.
The benefits to our students and the support of our schools yields amazing results.
Just some of this year’s successes we celebrate:
■

Lafayette Elementary was named a California Distinguished School (the 12th
such award for a Lafayette public school)
Simply stated, that’s the goal of the combined work of the Lafayette School
District, the Acalanes Union High School District, parent organizations at
each school, and LPIE.
LPIE and parent organizations raise funds to support our school districts,
working closely with them to identify and determine how to best use those
funds to achieve the greatest possible impact on our children’s education.
Since 1981, LPIE has been providing a way for parents to make a meaningful,
positive investment in their children’s educational experience. As myriad
challenges continue to face public education in our state, LPIE will continue
to be there for Lafayette students, ensuring that they have access to an
enriched and exceptional education.
A Message from LPIE’s President and Vice President
Thank you! Through the power of our community, 2014–15 was another fantastic year
for LPIE. Our successes include:
■ Our largest gift ever to the Lafayette School District—more than $1.8 million in direct
support and LPIE programs at our four elementary schools and Stanley Middle School
■ Our largest gift ever to Acalanes High School—over $595,000, ensuring access for our
high school students to one of the best public high school experiences in the state
We look forward to commemorating our 35th anniversary in 2015–16 by providing our
students even more opportunities through additional funding to our partner school
districts for programs and support including:
■ Increased aide time in each K–5 classroom
■ Additional professional development for teachers at all levels, including professional
development during the summer to limit their time away from the classroom
■ Maintaining a rich variety of class offerings at Acalanes High School
We are proud to fund these important areas at a higher level than we have in the past
while continuing to maintain our funding for technology, science, music, art, counseling,
and other differentiated and enriching learning opportunities.

Acalanes Union High School District asked
its education foundations and parent
organizations to contribute funds to
continue offering a 7th period. In response,
LPIE is increasing its funding to Acalanes
by almost 20%, expanding funded sections
from 13 to 18 while maintaining a wide
variety of existing programs. Sections
include English, social studies, computer

LPIE’s second annual
LPIE projected
spending for
the 2015–16
school year
$2.99 million
It was 1980, and Lafayette’s
public schools were facing
devastating cutbacks in the
arts and sciences in the wake
of the passage of Proposition
13. In response, a group of
concerned parents organized
to save threatened programs.
With an initial budget of
$5,000 and working closely
with district teachers and
administrators, they spread
the word, raised funds,
planned programs, hired
qualified instructors, and
brought art, music and science
back into the classroom.
Thus, the Lafayette Arts &
Science Foundation (LASF)
was born. Thirty-five years
later, with a name change and
shift in its funding model along
the way, LPIE continues to
make a significant impact
on Lafayette’s public schools
and students.
