Our Galactic Goal for Gold!

The KPSF wholeheartedly supports the districts ever-present goal to stand “exemplary” as a district, on every campus, in all grades and subject levels.  To help propel the district in this direction, the Foundation has made an unprecedented commitment to raise over $500 million dollars in the coming year.  The new “Exemplary Education Endowment” is a multi-faceted campaign that will be launched in September.

The three pillars of this steadfast mission are as follows:

Endowed Science Chair
Stepping Up Science

KISD’s ever-present goal to stand “exemplary” as a district and in all subjects in all grade levels is now strengthened and supported by the Foundation.  An answered call for support, beginning with science will see the KPSF piloting a program to add an Endowed Science Chair in the near future.  Funding in this area will launch us toward success in science by:

• Assisting science teachers in all grades
• Providing enrichment and encouragement and meeting the academic and interest needs of our students in this important academic area
• Elevating our science scores and focusing more attention toward science

National Board Certification Program
The Cream of the Crop

KISD recognizes the growing challenges facing public education and are in full favor of ideas, programs, and strategies to enhance and elevate teaching and learning across the district.  KPSF’s support of this district initiative is beneficial in the following ways:

• Raises the level of achievement and caliber of teachers
• Helps teachers who successfully complete the rigorous certification process to move beyond State certification into a national level of certification
• Causes teachers to analyze their work, improve their skills, define their teaching standards, and reflect on the impact their teaching has on student learning

Thanks to the KPSF, teachers will receive 100% funding for tuition, materials, and the actual exam which varies from state to state but averages over $2,500.  Now, a strong district can just get stronger, and this new program is a win-win for all students and all staff.

Advanced Placement Incentive Program
Sky’s the Limit!

KISD believes it pays to take the right classes, literally and figuratively.  Each year, thousands of students in high schools across the country enroll in the rigorous program of college-level courses for students who are serious about getting ahead.  Two years ago, KISD started the Advanced Placement (AP) Incentive Program, which rewards students with monetary scholarships for scoring a 3, 4, or 5 on the AP exam.  KPSF’s support of this exciting program specifically benefits our Tivy High School students in many ways, including:

• Encourages participation in the AP program
• Offers students incentives to take the AP exams
• Allows students to jump start their college experience by graduating with college credit under their belt, as well as having gained experience with college level curriculum
