Richland Avenue School
Richland United Giving Campaign
Through the dedication of administration, staff and students, Richland Avenue School has made great strides to become the successful school it is. While public education is supposed to be free and paid for by tax payer’s money, the sad fact is that California ranks 48th in the nation in per student spending. Our children’s education is grossly under funded. Richland Avenue has experienced huge budget cuts this year.
· Our children now have reduced library availability (3 hours/day)
· Our custodial staff’s hours have been reduced
· Our school gardener hours have been cut
· We’ve lost teachers due to increased class size
· More budget cuts are expected.

The support of the Richland community is imperative to continue our path to success. We are asking each family to give a $300 tax deductible donation per family. 100% participation from Richland friends and family will significantly contribute to the success of our goals.
100% of the funds raised are used to pay for items the School District does not cover and will benefit all of our children.
Richland Booster Club is a volunteer organization and 100% of the funds raised are used for all students.
Booster's goals are to: Continue to provide funding for programs and staff as neededContinue growing, maintaining and utilizing the Richland Learning Garden Continue campus beautification
Continue sponsorship of events for the school that support school community and pride Provide funding for field trips To develop a fund that provides more flexibility for our school.
