We are pleased to announce the results of the 2014-2015 Giving Fund Campaign. Thanks to the generosity of our community, PPIE raised $445,000 for the Giving Fund that will directly benefit the students of the Pleasanton Unified School District during the 2014-2015 school year.

This amazing show of community support for the Pleasanton schools fell just shy of the organization's ability to achieve all of the funding goals set forth by the Education Foundation Committee last spring. As a result, the PPIE Board of Directors voted to contribute an additional $106,000 from discretionary funds generated through various other fundraising events during the year.  

The Education Foundation Committee also set a non-monetary campaign goal to increase participation at the school sites. To acknowledge the increased commitment and participation during the campaign, the board included $15,500 to be allocated in the form of a Participation Award.

The following outlines the funding breakdown for the combined Giving Fund/General Fund donation from PPIE that will benefit the elementary, middle and high school levels.  

Elementary:

• 28:1 Class Size Reduction for K-TK district-wide (completely funded by PPIE at $221,000)
• 1 Chromebook for each of the 230 elementary classrooms district-wide to support the school district's technology plan goal of having a 1:3 device-to-student ratio in every elementary classroom (completely funded by PPIE technology funds at $69,000)
