Home : Welcome Alumni!
Given projections of a budget gap of as much as $1 million for the
2008-2009 academic year, the Lowell Alumni Association and Lowell PTSA
joined forces earlier this year to pledge a combined total of $500,000
for critical staffing needs.
The slowing California economy has recently prompted Governor
Schwarzenegger to recommend more budget cuts, including billions of
dollars in reductions to funding for public schools. There is no way to
predict the possible impact of such cuts on Lowell, but we need your
support and that of thousands of other Lowell alumni, parents and
friends to be prepared for any additional budget reduction.
Alumni
support will be critical as we prepare for what promises to be a much
larger budget deficit for the 2009-2010 school year. With rainy day
funding from the city unavailable, we will need to make up for the lack
of those funds as well as for whatever impact additional state budget
cuts have on Lowell. Please consider making the most generous donation
possible when you receive your Annual Fund Campaign
letter. More than 2,700 current students and nearly 200 faculty and
staff will benefit from your generosity!
