What's the difference between the Foundation and the school Parent Clubs?

Together, the Foundation, Parent Clubs, and Bond measures form the funding ecosystem of our district. Simply put, the amazing Parent Clubs fund things; bond measures fund buildings; and the Foundation funds people (teachers).

Foundation funding  is a big reason our schools rank #1 in Oregon and among the top in the nation [LEARN MORE].
