Created to support LCISD
The Lamar Educational
Awards Foundation was created to support the educational programs of Lamar
CISD. The foundation will provide funds beyond the normal operating budget
for educational programs and activities for students and staff. Foundation
funds will be used to facilitate student achievement and skill development,
recognize and encourage staff excellence and expand community involvement
by individuals, businesses and civic organizations. 
Who
administers the Foundation?
The Foundation
is governed by a volunteer Board of Directors representative of the communities
and businesses served by Lamar CISD. The Board of Directors seeks funds
and sets policy according to its bylaws. The Board of Directors is a separate
legal entity from the Lamar CISD but cooperates with the District to enhance
and enrich the educational opportunities for students and LCISD staff.
