What will the funds raised by the $365 Campaign be used for?
We will have more information on the specific use of the funds once the District identifies the final combination of budget cuts it intends to make. These choices are being selected from a list of broad categories including: increased class size, reduction or elimination of non-mandated programs, no new textbook adoptions, reduction of personnel. No funds will be used for capital improvements, physical operations or administrative salaries. Funding decisions will be based on the actual budget cuts made by the CUSD and community feedback. We will ensure that 100% of your donation is injected directly into the schools where it will make the most difference for all of our students. Unrestricted donations allow the greatest freedom to use the funds flexibly, equitably and in a way that will benefit the most students. Moreover, unrestricted gifts are in keeping with the spirit of this campaign, which is to create strong, lasting, community-wide support for all Claremont public schools.
