Centralized Fundraising Update

Last November, the SMMUSD Board of Education adopted a Centralized Fundraising Policy (BP 3290) that will establish the Santa Monica-Malibu Education Foundation (SMMEF) as the central fundraising entity for the district. ONCE IMPLEMENTED, the SMMEF will be the ONLY fundraising entity to raise funds for the district to use to PAY FOR PERSONNEL AND PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT.

The District Superintendent, Sandy Lyon, has submitted the following IMPLEMENTATION TIMELINE (in academic years July to July):

[table “” not found /]

For more details download this PDF (pp. 117118).

WHAT DOES THIS MEAN TO FRANKLIN?

  • For 2012–2013 and 2013–2014: Nothing Changes – Every Dollar You Donate to Franklin PTA STAYS at Franklin
  • Starting July 2013: We will continue to fund our own staff – but also help SMMEF raise funds to build up an SMMEF reserve for 2014–2015
  • July 1, 2014: Once the policy is fully implemented, our current PTA-funded personnel (aides, computer technologist, etc.) and professional development will be funded by the SMMEF – we will not be able to decide (on our own) the amount of funding and pay for them ourselves.

FRANKLIN PTA GOALS:

  • We believe in giving every child the best education possible. But this cannot be achieved by redistributing funds from one school to another. Instead, we need to “Raise All Boats” and increasing funding for EVERY SCHOOL to achieve equity.
  • 2012 – 2013: THIS IS OUR BIG FUNDRAISING YEAR – we need to build up our own reserve to create a cushion for next year when we need to raise our own funds AND help the SMMEF.
  • We MUST push for TRANSPARENCY at the SMMEF – how will funds be raised, used and redistributed?
  • We MUST have REPRESENTATION on the SMMEF – to decide how our money will be spent. To quote Patrick Henry, “No Taxation Without Representation!”
  • We need YOUR SUPPORT: As we go forward with the implementation process, please sign petitions, attend Board of Ed meetings, etc. when we ask for your support. Don’t free-ride on your child’s education.

LET FRANKLIN’S VOICE BE HEARD!

Santa Monica 5000 – Franklin PE Fundraiser

Join the Franklin SM5000 Run/Walk Team to raise funds for our PE/athletic programs.

This year, 100% of your donation + $5 of your registration fee will go to Franklin’s athletic program — providing funds for PE, intramural activities and equipment. (Example: Frankie registers $20 to run, and gets $50 from friends and family sponsorship, Franklin School gets a total of $5 + $50 = $55!)
