:: About Edmonton Public Schools Foundation
Edmonton Public Schools Foundation is exploring new ways to support student achievement and enhance the teaching and learning that occurs in the classroom.
The Foundation's Board of Governors will complement the efforts of the Board of Trustees to broaden and deepen support for public education and Edmonton Public Schools by:
educating the community about the important contributions of public education;
engaging the community in advancing public education and the District's priorities; and
providing opportunities for interested community members to invest in public education and the 80,000+ students who attend Edmonton Public Schools.
