MISSION STATEMENT
"Our mission is to create and sustain a coalition of business and citizens to support funding for innovative programs and initiatives that enrich educational opportunities for Pampa ISD students and staff.
THE PEF IS INDEPENDENT OF THE SCHOOL DISTRICT. BUT WILL REVIEW ACTIONS WITH THE SCHOOL BOARD TO ELIMINATE OVERLAP AND TO BE IN ACCORD WITH COMMON GOALS.

The purpose of the PEF is best explained by the type and scope of projects that might be underwritten. These are taken for the experience of Education Foundation Committees in other school districts and from a polling of our Pampa staff and teachers.

Projects are listed on the right column. We hope this gives some ideas of possibilities.

Our general plan is to take a percentage of funds raised and designate that amount for some type of permanent fund. A mentioned goal for the permanent fund was $1 million, enough that fund earnings and new program money would allow significant project assistance.

GOALS OF THE FOUNDATION
  To encourage academic excellence
  To provide financial resources for programs and initiatives that align with the Pampa ISD strategic plan.
  To promote community awareness in education and the Foundation
  To ensure the perpetuity of the Foundation with an endowment fund.
