The Clarkstown Education Foundation is an independent not-for-profit organization with tax-exempt status pending. Its primary purpose is to provide funding for educational projects and activities which are neither in the curriculum nor within the scope of the school operating budget and include:
- Supporting the Clarkstown Central School District's enhanced technology for students and staff;
- Providing scholarships to Clarkstown High School graduates;
- Awarding professional grants to Clarkstown educators to support new or established projects.
The Clarkstown Education Foundation was founded in 2007 to support educational excellence. The Foundation provides an avenue for business and community members as well as school district personnel and alumni to enhance the education process. Its success depends primarily on the contributions of residents, businesses, and others interested in supporting the Clarkstown Central School District. |
