HPCF Seeking Donations for Haitian Earthquake Relief |
The Highland Park Community Foundation ( www.hpcommunityfoundation.com), a charter Task Force member, has volunteered to research the most effective way to deliver ongoing help, and provide a tax-deductible 501(c)(3) vehicle for donors to be assured that 100% of their contributions will go directly toward Haitian earthquake relief. The Foundation will also attempt to seek matching grants to compound the impact of your generous contributions.
The magnitude of the Haitian tragedy is heartbreaking, and the City of Highland Park is once again proud to be part of a humanitarian relief effort. The Task Force has determined that –-initially, at least–-the most valuable contributions are monetary. If you can make a contribution of any size, please mail your check to:
The Highland Park Community Foundation

Now in its second year of implementation, the district administration has undertaken a plan assessment and review (PAR) of the implementation.
The PAR report, originally scheduled to be presented to the Board of Education in February 2010, has been rescheduled to March 16 do the press of other issues, including contract negotiations, budgetary issues and the district’s strategic planning initiative. The rescheduling will allow for a more thorough review and analysis of the PAR report’s data and its impact on the district’s schools.
