Quail Run Elementary

 

The Quail Run Learning Fund (QRLF) is a parent-run, nonprofit organization dedicated to enhancing our children’s public school education by raising essential funds. As an affiliate of the San Ramon Valley Education Foundation, QRLF plays a crucial role in supporting Quail Run Elementary. Essentially, QRLF is here to raise funds to support our academic priorities.

 

 

 

Our primary goal is to fill the funding gap left by state and local resources. The San Ramon Valley School District receives significantly less funding per student compared to state and national averages. This shortfall limits access to resources essential for a comprehensive education. By contributing to QRLF, you ensure that your child benefits from enhanced educational opportunities beyond what regular state funding provides.

 

 

 

 

 

        Please consider participating on our fundraising events or through monetary donations online. Our non-profit accepts Visa, Mastercard, AMEX, Discover and Cash App Pay and it is open 24/7.

 

 

 

San Ramon Valley Unified School District received the lowest funding per student of all unified school districts. QRLF is affiliated to the larger SRVEF, it can be helpful to think of SRVEF as the district-wide fund and QRLF as the school specific fund. Donations to the individual school is the most direct way to fund Quail Run needs as determined by the parents, teachers, principal and even students.

Despite popular belief, property taxes provide approximately 22% of the basic funding needed for our schools. Actually, California income taxes are the biggest piece of the pie. However, this funding is limited to state policies, reallocations and limitations. Your donations to the Quail Run Learning Fund (i.e. the expected Other Local 10% below) are used to provide wages to our librarian, art instructor, part-time mental health counselor, field trips and some classroom supplies.

 

Our San Ramon Unified School District approved significant budget for the upcoming years due to COVID funding running out and declining enrollment, specially at the lower levels like Kinder and TK. Therefore, every dollar we raise for our school helps.

 

Below is a graph of the sources of school funding, please note that our parent donations and fundraisers help cover the built-in 10% represented under "Other Local" below. For more information about the school funding formula, visit the SRVUSD's website.
