Who We Are

Mission

The Lawrence Schools Foundation is committed to enriching the education provided to all students by the Lawrence Public Schools. Through the generation and management of gifts, we seek to promote and enhance:

  • a strong relationship between our community and the Lawrence Public Schools
  • innovative teaching-learning opportunities, the recognition of teachers, and development of staff
  • effective early childhood programs
  • recognition and encouragement of student achievements

  

History

The Foundation began in 1983 as the Carl Knox Endowment Association in honor of Dr. Carl Knox, the retiring Lawrence School Superintendent, as a way to make a lasting and meaningful contribution to educational opportunities for students in the Lawrence Public Schools. The association later changed its name to the Lawrence Schools Foundation and became a 501(c)(3) charitable organization.
