When Was School-Force Founded and Why?
School-Force was founded in 2001 by a group of parents looking to save key educational programs that were slated to disappear from the district due to budget shortfalls. Over the past nine years, School-Force has raised over 2.6 million dollars to keep quality education programs across the six schools of the Belmont-Redwood Shores school district.
In addition to raising funds, School-Force is dedicated to raising community awareness of the key issues faced by our district, and of the steps that we can take as a community to ensure that all of our children receive a quality public education.
How is the Money Spent?
Each year the School-Force Board works with the Belmont-Redwood Shores School District to identify key funding requirements that are not met by other district revenue sources. See Funded Programs for the current list of programs to which School-Force contributes. Funding Policy provides background on the policy of School-Force.
