WHAT IS THE CR-B
EDUCATION FOUNDATION?
The CR-B Foundation, Inc. has
been organized to maintain the present sound financial condition of
our school by raising additional funds for educational materials
and projects. The goal of the Foundation is to enhance the
quality of education by providing the latest technology and
teaching aids.
WHO ADMINISTERS THE
FOUNDATION?
The foundation is
governed by a volunteer Board of Directors which is responsible for
selecting projects and awarding funds. The Board is
completely independent of the elected Board of Educational
Directors.
WHAT TYPE OF PROJECTS
WILL BE FUNDED?
The Foundation will
fund current district needs to enrich educational programs with
such items as: computers, printers, and software; maps and globes;
audio-visual equipment; facility improvements; library books and
reference materials; teaching aids; science equipment; and other
donor-specified projects. Our initial kickoff project will be
the refurbishing of the Auditorium Facility at the 4-12 building,
which is utilized by much of our community. Estimated cost
for this project will be approximately $100,000.
