As many of you may already know, the Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD) has been faced with massive budget cuts. These budget cuts have had, and continue to have, a significant negative impact on our school. Over the last two years, the Booster Club has spent all of the money it raised to fund our school’s Magnet Coordinator position – a position that would have been reduced to part time as a result of the budget cuts. In the 2010-2011 school year, our challenges are greater than ever before. Among other things, we must raise a minimum of $97,500 to fund the following: Magnet Coordinator Position. In addition to coordinating and managing Magnet enrollment, our Magnet Coordinator is responsible for our school-wide positive behavior program (i.e., discipline), organizing and producing school-wide productions that involve both Magnet and Traditional students, supervising the African Drum and Dance Ensemble and much more. Copy Machine. LAUSD does not provide funding for our school’s copying machine. Our copier is used on a daily basis by every teacher and our administrative staff. Without this funding, the school will not have a copier this year. Computers and Projectors. LAUSD recently adopted a new math program that requires the use of laptop computers and LCD projectors. Last year, Booster provided new laptop computers with LCD projectors for ten classrooms. We need to complete the balance of purchases so our teachers can effectively teach. Guitar Lessons. As a Fine & Performing Arts Magnet Center we want to continue to provide guitar lessons to every 3rd grade student. Librarian. LAUSD has cut back all librarians to part-time. We would like to keep our Wonder of Reading librarian, Ms. Diane Greenseid, at full-time status for the 2010-2011 school year. As a children’s book illustrator she has introduced individual expression through different art projects in the library. If you are able, please make a direct donation of money to the Booster Club.

We will, of course, be conducting fundraisers throughout the year to help meet our financial goals, but fundraisers will not be enough. We need you.
