San Mateo-Foster City Community Education Foundation
The foundation is committed to reaching every child in the san mateo foster city school district. A strong school district does more than just support the children in its care, it impacts the entire community. A strong school district produces a smart and motivated supply of workers, and benefits the local economy, sustaining local businesses and property prices. We are committed to reaching out to our greater community, raising awareness of the value of supporting local schools to those outside of the immediate parent base. We believe so strongly in this that several members of the board are devoted entirely to outreach, both within the school district and outside to the corporations and businesses that rely on our business and the workforce that this district is creating.
