About the Partnership Program
The Partnership Program provides schools with the resources and expertise they need to become successful. The focus is on schools facing economic challenges, leadership needs or low student performance. Services include consulting, performance audits, strategic planning, staff development, program implementation, assessment and follow-up activities. By helping schools develop and maintain strong academic programs, the Foundation seeks to enhance the educational opportunities of all children.
Under the direction of Linda Irwin, each partnership project is tailored to the particular school and community in which it is located. These unique projects range from reading/language arts and math and science to instrumental music and career technical education.
