2016-17 Teacher Fund Campaign, generously underwritten by Independence Title Company
Approximately 63% of Eanes property tax dollars never make it to our classrooms because they are recaptured by the state to fund other districts.
With 85% of the district’s budget dedicated to personnel, the difference is our teachers. By funding vital teacher and staff positions, EEF bridges the gap that would exist without these teachers.
EEF is the only organization that can fund additional teacher and staff positions for our district. 100% of your EEF donations stay in the district.
Teachers Make it Happen!

Most of the EEF funded teachers are NOT REQUIRED by the state
They are considered “luxuries.” For the 2016-2017 school year, EEF dollars funded positions such as 5th grade teachers, counselors, nurses, special ed, & reading and math specialists at the elementary schools. At the middle and high school levels, the funds helped lower class size levels by funding robotics, gifted and talented and AP teachers, and many more.

I am so fortunate to be in a school district with the support of such an amazing organization such as EEF. The foundation has made possible so many opportunities for each of the schools within the district. My position at WHS has been on the positions that has benefited from the support of EEF.
Eanes Education Foundation's fundraising efforts provide significant support to the district, minimizing cuts to important teacher and staff positions. We expect high qualify education in Eanes ISD -- support of EEF is one of the best eways to help ensure continued excellence for our students.
The Teacher Fund Campaign is EEF's annual fund drive that culminates on "Donation Day," a fun day of giving, with pep rallies on every campus!
There are several ways for families and businesses to support the Teacher Fund. To learn more about our Leadership Society and programs for businesses, contact EEF Development Director, Cathy Hoover, at (512) 732-9065.
