Foundation for East Baton Rouge School System

The Foundation encourages integrated approaches to learning that guide students to become critical thinkers, problem solvers and exemplary citizens.  In partnership with community stakeholders in both private and public sectors, and with input from professional educators, academic research, local parents and students alike, we seek measurable gains in three critical areas: student achievement; community involvement; and the support of innovative and effective teaching.

The goals of the Foundation are to:
 1.   Promote successful practices that support academic excellence and the development of 21st century workforce skills for students, with an emphasis in strengthening the science, technology, engineering, art and math (STEAM) skills of students.
 2.   Increase the number of technology-rich and workplace relevant experiences for students.
 3.   Increase opportunities for teachers and principals to obtain progressive and effective professional training and skills, while growing the quantity and quality of STEAM educators.
 4.    Provide a range of opportunities for the community to invest in its future through education.

The Foundation for East Baton Rouge School System is a tax-exempt public charity and grant-making organization that provides vital support to area students, teachers, and school administrators by building effective partnerships and funding high-impact projects for which tax dollars are not available.
