 ...
an independent, 501(c)(3) charitable
organization founded in 1989 to enhance educational excellence for the
children of Lexington Public Schools.
We accomplish our mission through our
grant programs, which provide Lexington
Public School teachers with
the knowledge, experience, and materials they need to remain at the
frontiers of educational excellence. Our grants finance educational
opportunities outside the scope of the school operating budget and target
areas such as innovation in curriculum and instruction, professional
development, and teacher mentoring.
LEF is directed
by a non-salaried board of community members
and supported by contributions from residents
and area businesses. LEF donors and volunteers
reflect Lexington's spirit of cooperation,
generosity, and shared responsibility for
the public education of Lexington children.
