Businesses Supporting Texas Public Schools

In just three years, the Gonzales ISD Education Foundation has contributed $58,894 in teacher grants to support innovative, engaged classroom learning.

The support of local businesses and other community organizations is vitally important to public schools in Texas. These collaborative efforts yield creative, exciting opportunities for students as they advance their learning. Whatever the relationship is, businesses and other organizations that step up to help are invaluable. Their assistance and their allegiance to the public education efforts in the community speak volumes to the community, the teachers, and the students.

TASB's business engagement initiative was created to:

• Honor the businesses and community groups that support public schools
• Share information about outstanding school-business collaborations
• Encourage more businesses to become actively involved in helping students, teachers, and schools

Business Recognition Program

Businesses Standing Up for Public Schools is an annual recognition program, free to active TASB members, established to:

• Celebrate the important support provided in local communities
• Express appreciation to those who stand up for schools
• Encourage more businesses to participate in this sort of community service
