The Matching Funds Program was established in 2001-2002 by the Superintendent to assist schools and their partners in raising funds for capital school improvements by matching dollars in any amount up to $50,000.  On October 26, 2009, a committee composed of elementary, middle and high school principals and the Facilities Division met to review and update the program procedures to be effective for the 2010-2011 fiscal year.  (Revised procedures are attached).
