A Fundamental Problem: 

     Did you know—California is now the fifth-largest economy in the world and has the highest gross domestic product of any state, and yet, we are near the bottom nationally in nearly every measure of school funding and school staffing. Adjusted for cost of living, California ranks 38th lowest in per-pupil funding. This is a serious problem, and we, along with many other school districts across the state, have been calling on our state Legislature to immediately increase school funding and to do what is right for our students. This fight for fair funding is ongoing. See the Fair Funding State-Wide Initiative

Mission Statement

     To promote excellence in the educational experience of students who attend schools governed or authorized by the Mt. Diablo Unified School District.

Objectives:

  • Sponsor educational opportunities that foster a culture of excellence and inclusion in all MDUSD schools.​
  • Provide funds and resources for K-12 educational activities beyond the standard curriculum including STEAM (science, technology, engineering, art and math).​
  • Collaborate with businesses and/or trades for alternative educational or vocational career technical experiences for students.​
What We Do:

     ​The MDUSD Education Foundation provides STEAM-related enrichment opportunities to over 30,000 students in the Mt. Diablo Unified School District, no matter which school they attend.  We work in close collaboration with teachers, principals, and the school district while engaging the community at large to help bring new opportunities to students both inside and outside the classroom.

     In two and half years, the foundation has funded and coordinated a very popular district-wide outdoor chalk art program with renowned local artist Mark Wagner.  This nearly-completed project will set a new Guinness record for the World’s Largest Illustrated Story, featuring brilliant, student-created, larger-than-life mascots from each elementary school. We’ve rolled out Art in Action, a hands-on art history experience for younger students. We’ve sent thousands of middle schoolers from multiple campuses on field trips to the Chabot Space & Science Center in Oakland to learn “How to be an Astronaut on Mars.” Among other programs, the foundation has also actively supported Project Lead the Way technology and science initiatives at our high schools, placing critical STEM tools into the hand of tomorrow’s leaders.
