principal’s emergency fund

The annual foundation Breakfast helps support this critical resource.

At least one-third of students in our schools meets the federal definition of poverty and nearly 300 are houseless. Without the hassle of paperwork, the Principal’s Emergency Fund allows principals, counselors and teachers to immediately address systemic barriers students face so they can feel successful in school and life. Every principal has this resource at their disposal to assist students and families with urgent basic needs including clothing, food and toiletries, medical emergencies, and assistance with utilities and rent.
