We know our mission has power. We have all joined together- Polaris faculty and staff, the Board of Trustees, the Polaris Educational Foundation, our students, parents, and community friends-to make this school the success story that it is today. 

Operations Costs

The largest portion of our budget, like most businesses, is devoted to salaries and yet, our dedicated employees are underpaid when compared to similar positions in other public schools.  Our operational costs, including rent, utilities, and insurance go up every year.  

To make ends meet, we must increasingly eliminate or decrease our spending in every budget area except operational costs and salaries.  Your donation is used to supplement our budget for classroom supplies, books, furniture, technology, and necessities such as maintenance, substitutes, and professional development.  In short, our Annual Fund drive is designed to bridge the growing gap between state funds and what we need to uphold the excellent educational program at Polaris Charter School.
