Recognizing the financial challenges that school districts face, their intent was to ensure that students receive the best education possible by providing grant opportunities to educators and schools. The Foundation initially relied on financial support from the District but today fully supports itself. A board of directors governs the Foundation and in 1998, the Foundation became a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt organization. Grants are awarded to applicants whose projects demonstrate a variety of characteristics, including innovative qualities, curriculum enhancement, and community involvement. They have enabled educators to explore diversity, encouraged parents to become involved in their children's school, build community partnerships, and conduct sophisticated math and science projects.

With interest rates gradually rising in today's market, the hybrid mortgage product saves money, provides a period of fixed-rate security and helps buyers qualify for financing. Hybrid mortgage loans offer a very low fixed-rate for a period of time, usually from 5 to 7 years, then revert to an adjustable rate mortgage (ARM) for the remainder of the term of the loan. The interest rate is typically lower than with a 30-year fixed-rate loan, and the borrower has the assurance that the rate will not change for a period of years. Such a loan works well for buyers who plan on reselling the home within a finite period. Other specialty mortgages now available include an ARM loan with a provision allowing it to be converted to a fixed-rate loan when that is a practical step for the borrower. Still others offer an interest-only loan that requires payments to be made on the interest only for a specified number of years, then reverts to an amortized loan with interest and principal payments each month. Consult with an experienced mortgage professional to determine whether one of these loan products will meet your needs.
