With about 14% of district students classified as homeless, access to Wi-Fi was important before the pandemic, but the need dramatically escalated during Covid, with more than half the 13,000 students in the district coming from low-income families.
SBEF mobilized quickly, raising more than $300,000 for students’ online and academic resources, in addition to procuring funding for art and music supplies, food security, and jackets to warm students attending school with open windows and outdoor classrooms.
“We were all focused on helping the children,” said Eryn Shugart, donor advisement officer for SBEF and a CTL alumna. “I certainly think it helped that many of our board members are graduates of a Leading From Within program (including Terri Allison, Eder Gaona-Macedo from Future Leaders of America, and Victoria Juarez).

In order to recruit students to enroll in summer school, district officials mailed invitations and made personalized phone calls. As an incentive to join, students will receive backpacks, T-shirts, water bottles and books, and will go on field trips.
School board president Kate Ford asked if there was a way to sign up more junior students for the summer school program.
Anne Roundy-Harter, director of secondary education, said they will continue to make efforts to reach out to families. I have had some feedback from the junior highs that kids are tired and some of them are just saying to their parents, ‘We just need a break; we just need a summer without school, without any pressure, so I think we need to honor that as well, Roundy-Harter said. Even though we would like to have every student there that is eligible, some are choosing to make a different choice.”
