Due to the way California property taxes are assessed, it’s necessary for our schools to supplement funding to ensure LASD students receive the exceptional well rounded education for which LASD strives.  Federal & state funds directly provided to the Los Altos School District (LASD) are supplemented by community fundraising through each school’s Parent Teacher Association (PTA) AND the Los Altos Educational Foundation (LAEF). 

Consider the example of a school library which is funded in all three ways. LASD provides the building; LAEF funds the Librarian; PTA supplies the books.  Learn more here or by watching the video and, as always, contact Springer principal Sarah March, Springer PTA President or LAEF Reps with questions.
