Broken Arrow Public Schools and national nonprofit DonorsChoose announce new partnership
Broken Arrow Public Schools recently announced a new partnership with the national nonprofit DonorsChoose to help teachers tap into a network of 4 million donors to support classroom projects and more seamlessly align with district strategy and operations.
Teachers in Broken Arrow Public Schools have raised $438,925 and completed over 965 projects on DonorsChoose. These projects vary from books to laptops and other tools to enhance the learning environment and support student success.
“Broken Arrow Public Schools has a profound responsibility to ensure its students are college ready, career ready and life ready.” said Superintendent Janet Vinson. “The district is educating a generation of innovators who are motivated by creativity and problem solving. We are eager to see how this program will open up new opportunities for resources and support for our teachers and students.”
As one of the 120+ members of the DonorsChoose District Partnership Program, BAPS will be able to fully support teachers in the use of the platform, ensure safety and security, and align efforts with the district’s strategic priorities. BAPS will be able to monitor all donated materials, principals will be notified each time a project is funded, and receive early notification when there are new “match” funding opportunities.
“We're excited to have Broken Arrow Public Schools as a new member of the DonorsChoose District Partnership Program,” said Charles Best, founder and CEO of DonorsChoose. “BAPS teachers and administrators continue to work hard to make sure students succeed, so far they’ve raised $438K towards learning materials from donors across the country. We can't wait to see how the DonorsChoose community can support these educators even more through our partnership.”
