It’s Our Final Chance to Fund ESC! May 7th is the LAST day to raise $70,000!  We are SO close, but giving has definitely slowed.

ONLY 3 DAYS LEFT to Save 3 ESC Teachers

#1 Reason Some Parents Don’t Contribute to the DMSEF: (And our thoughts on why we hope they’ll reconsider.)   There are thousands of families in the district. Someone else will step up. Thankfully, more than 1,600 families have already contibuted! There are only three days left of our giving campaign and we need to raise nearly $220,000 JUST to [...]

Reason #2 Why Some Don’t Give to the DMSEF

Top Reasons Some Parents Don’t Contribute to the DMSEF: #2 (And our thoughts on why we hope they’ll reconsider.)  I don’t agree with how the district is managing their budget.  The DMSEF is a separate entity from the Del Mar Union School District (DMUSD). All contributions given to the DMSEF are restricted monies and can [...]

Reason #3 Why Some Don’t Give to the DMSEF

Top Reasons Some Parents Don’t Contribute to the DMSEF: #3 (And our thoughts on why we hope they’ll reconsider.) I already pay property taxes that fund the schools. Why should I give more? Unfortunately funding from the California government alone will not provide enough support for a complete ESC program. For the past 12 years [...]

Reason #4 Why Some Don’t Give to the DMSEF

Top Reasons Some Parents Don’t Contribute to the DMSEF: #4 (And our thoughts on why we hope they’ll reconsider.) I’ve already donated to the PTA. Parent support (through contributions and volunteering) is critical to both the DMSEF and PTA. Contributions given to the DMSEF are restricted monies and can only be used by the DMUSD to fund [...]
