WHY DONATE

As a not-for-profit, public charter school BCS receives public funding, however, those funds do not fully cover the expense of educating our students.

 

In fact, BCS receives substantially less federal and state funding and less of the local property and parcel taxes than other public schools in the Los Altos School District.

Public Funding Gap ~$8,300 per student (11).png

Because of differences in funding formulas for public charter schools vs many traditional public schools, Bullis Charter School experiences a Public Funding Gap of approximately $8,300 per student and this gap continues to grow.


Despite these funding challenges and spending less per student than many other local public elementary schools, Bullis Charter School continues to offer its learners a top rated, child-focused, innovative education.  Charitable donations ensure that every BCS student has a chance to code, play math games, learn a language, sing, act, problem solve and develop a lifelong love of learning.
