Frequently Asked Questions
 
Our school is public. Why is there a need for parent contributions?

State funding covers the essential basics. Parent investments bridge the gap, funding the advanced technology, enrichment programs, and specialized resources that elevate our students' daily experience beyond standard requirements.

Why is the target $400 per student?

We benchmarked this amount against San Mateo County standards to ensure it is both sustainable and accessible. By keeping our target at $400, we prioritize broad community participation over high-dollar requests, making it possible for every family to join in.

Why is our funding also used to support school staff?

While basic staffing is state-funded, targeted investments allow us to fund crucial instructional support roles, specialized program coordinators, and professional development. This ensures our teachers have the extra hands and resources they need so students never fall through the cracks.

How do I know my contribution is being managed responsibly?
