The Eanes Education Foundation (EEF) has done incredible things for our children's education for many years. However, their annual $3 million gift has morphed from a "nice to have" to a "need to have" as the EISD board of trustees saddles the district with a $2 million deficit for this school year. What would happen to our quality of education if EISD remains insolvent? Are your donations financing the budget deficit - or helping to hire more great teachers? Hear from EEF leadership as they chart a path through these challenging times.
***NOTE: This episode was recorded before the December board update outlining a potential change to financial condition due to the impact or higher interest rates on market investments.

We’re trying to start a productive conversation about the current state of Eanes Independent School District. Our hope is to find common ground as parents and leaders by discussing the history of EISD, the merits of leadership decisions happening right now, and the change in the district’s stated mission that could hold sway over its future. This conversation is vital because, like all parents, we want our children to grow as individuals, learn in a culture of excellence, and remain safe while doing it. EISD has delivered on all of these promises in the past, and now we must work hard to preserve it for our kids. No matter your stance on the issues, please join the conversation and believe in Eanes!
