AMERICAN FALLS, ID, October 29th, 2021 - American Falls School District #381 announced today a new partnership with the national nonprofit DonorsChoose to help teachers tap into a network of 4 million donors to support classroom projects and more seamlessly align with district strategy and operations. American Falls School District #381 will join the nonprofit's Equity Acceleration Initiative, a select cohort of some of the most innovative and equity focused districts in the country looking to do even more for their students through DonorsChoose.
Teachers in American Falls School District #381 have raised $21,000 and completed 39 projects on DonorsChoose. These projects vary from books to laptops and other tools to enhance the learning environment and support student success.
“American Falls School District #381 is excited to announce a partnership with DonorsChoose” said Superintendent Randy C Jensen. “It opens up new opportunities for teachers to fund projects that will help them provide the kind of educational experiences our students need to be prepared to thrive in the 21st Century. By partnering with DonorsChoose, we can better support American Falls teachers who are creating lessons that increase students’ excitement about coming to school every day.”
As one of the 300+ members of the DonorsChoose District Partnership Program, American Falls School District #381 will be able to fully support teachers in the use of the platform, ensure safety and security, and align efforts with the district’s strategic priorities. American Falls School District #381 will be able to monitor all donated materials, principals will be notified each time a project is funded, and receive early notification when there are new “match” funding opportunities.
“We're excited to have American Falls School District #381 as a new member of the DonorsChoose District Partnership Program,” said Charles Best, founder and CEO of DonorsChoose. “American Falls School District #381 teachers and administrators continue to work hard to make sure students succeed, so far they’ve raised $21,000 towards learning materials from donors across the country. We can't wait to see how the DonorsChoose community can support these educators even more through our partnership.”
