Alameda Education Foundation Statement on Measure A Passage

Alameda Education Foundation Statement on Measure A Passage

Thank you Alameda!

By over a two to one margin, you showed your support for continued quality education in Alameda. The fact that current economic conditions made this a difficult choice for many indicates our community’s willingness to sacrifice to ensure that Alameda students have the educational resources, programs and conditions they need for success. Thank you to the Alameda SOS campaign committee who did an exceptional job of galvanizing the community to pass Measure A.

2009-2010 Accomplishments

The Alameda Education Foundation made a positive impact on thousands of students lives this school year.  Take a look!

  • Forty-seven classrooms were “adopted” via AEF’s Adopt-a-Classroom program resulting in $23,500 dollars going directly into AUSD classrooms. The money was used by classroom teachers for everything from essential supplies to field trips, from speakers to innovative classroom projects – all of which enriched the educational experience of approximately 1,200 Alameda students at 14 AUSD school sites.
