The Education Foundation of Odessa Board of Directors on April 13 voted unanimously to support Odessans for Education and endorse the passage of Proposition A & B of the ECISD 2022 Bond.
“As a community, we need to provide our kids a safe, welcoming, state-of-the-art school system. These two propositions are the first steps to investing in the future of our community and building an amazing opportunity for our children to thrive,” a news release said.
The Education Foundation of Odessa is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, tax-exempt, philanthropic organization of
citizens who share a vision of enhancing education in ECISD.
The Education Foundation of Odessa provides a new and innovative source of funding to support the school district’s educational plan. The Foundation does not attempt to replace lost state funding, nor does it attempt to take the place of the district’s operating budget. When considering the level of funding required to educate students, the Foundation can expect only to provide funds for those projects and activities that go beyond the normal classroom experience. Such initiatives provide enrichment, research opportunities, teacher training, intervention and prevention strategies and extend the educational effort, the release detailed.
The mission of the Education Foundation is to create opportunities for education in Ector County ISD. Our
vision is that every student in ECISD will be school-ready, college-ready, work-ready…WORLD-READY
