We also provide funding for support services such as instructional aides, counseling, professional development and more.Filling the funding gap:Working with the Lafayette and Acalanes School Districts, we identify areas for investment in core academics and enrichment, supporting programs and efforts that might otherwise go unfunded.Powering our schools:Since 1980, LPIE donations have provided more than $30 Million in funding to support Lafayette students.What We Do:We believe Lafayette school children need to have a well rounded education that reaches fat beyond the basics in order to thrive in today's world.
