  • Foundation Ar One Up
    Annual Report 2007-2008 Message from the President December 31, 2008 Dear Supporter of Public Education: This last year was an exciting year for the Livonia Public Schools Foundation. Support from the community grew significantly as the community enthusiastically embraced the Foundation’s new college savings program - the Livonia Competitive Edge College Savings Program. During the fiscal year ending June 30, 2008, the Foundation supported several important programs in the Livonia Public Schools District including a variety extra curricular programs and activities. Perhaps most important of all, the idea of helping our children get to college and then, gaining a competitive edge in life, became a reality. The Foundation finalized the Competitive Edge College Savings Program - a program that would be launched in Fall 2008. Under the program, the Foundation would open a college savings plan account for every first grader in the district, and make a financial contribution to each child’s college savings plan account to help pay for the cost of the child’s college education. This is a remarkable gift, from a remarkable community, to remarkable children. I would like to thank all of those who made a contribution to the important work of the Foundation during the year. Your generosity helps make a difference in the lives of the children of our community. After all, “every child needs a foundation.” The Livonia Public Schools Foundation is an important part of that foundation. Sincerely, James R. Cambridge President Livonia Public Schools Foundation 1 Board of Directors James Cambridge Elaine Koons Judee Taormina Ernest Natalini President Vice President Secretary Treasurer Director Director Director Director Jim Badge Jack Kirksey Dan West Jay Young Director Director Director Director Randy A.Liepa Lynda Scheel Non-voting Non-voting member member 2 History of the Livonia Public Schools Foundation Nearly a decade ago, the financial situation of the Livonia Public Schools was radically different than today.
