Welcome to the EEF at OPE

 

EEF at OPE is a chapter of the greater district Encinitas Educational Foundation (EEF) that plays a crucial role in enhancing our school by complementing our focus on Science, Technology, Research, Engineering, Arts, and Math (S.T.R.E.A.M.). It exists to bridge the gap between available public school funding and the comprehensive needs of our OPE Eagles.

Your Contribution

OPE has a rich tradition of giving. It’s because of the generosity of many families that our children can receive award-winning programming and an excellent, well-rounded education. Our budget is directed and managed by OPE’s EEF Advisory Committee (EAC) and the School Principal. It is set using data from parent surveys on what they would like our school to offer, as well as input from teachers and staff. The “suggestion contribution” is simply our revenue per student.

What does the EEF do?

In addition to funding all core aspects of our students’ education, EUSD funds OPE’s Wheel Enrichment Teachers: PE/Yoga, TRAC (our social emotional learning program), Music, Art, 50% of STEM, and supplements our Intervention Teachers.

EEF at OPE works to raise the essential funding for our school’s Enrichment and Intervention Programs, including Site Program Support Teachers, General Education Instructional Assistants, Library Media Aide Extra Hours, Lunch Time Support, 50% of STEM Teacher, and the STEM Consumable Curriculum. It is our goal to ensure every student at OPE benefits from our programs.

As it stands, a considerable amount of our school’s budget is funded by parents and the community.

The old-fashioned “the state-pays-for-everything” public school has disappeared in California. This means that parents, extended family members, business partners and other community members fund the enrichment education our children receive here at OPE. Nearly half of California school districts have created foundations to provide additional funding for their schools and our district is no exception.

In order to help our kids succeed in today’s world, EEF helps to enhance what is being taught in the standard curriculum and provide our children with learning opportunities that would otherwise not be available through the school.
