About the Lynn Business Education Foundation
|
|
The mission of the Lynn Business Education Foundation is to mobilize the business and philanthropic communities to advocate and support systemic reform of the governance, financial management, and educational delivery system of the Lynn Public Schools.
It's a fact. No business works well without able employees. But businesses do not create able employees alone. Schools are the first step in the process.
That's why the Lynn Business Education Foundation exists. It gives socially-concerned companies the chance to help Lynn schools succeed. Their students, in time, become the workforce that drives our economy.
As the conduit of private resources into the schools, we are able to stimulate new and different ways of teaching and learning. We encourage innovation and experimentation within schools by providing resources, both financial and human, for school efforts that result in increased academic achievement.
The Foundation needs progressive companies to donate time and resources to help out public schools in their quest for excellence. Your contribution can be in the form of financial help, or time spent by you or your employees in partnership with a Lynn school, bringing wisdom and expertise directly to those who will, in a few years, be in a position to repay you in kind.

It is the role of these public sector constituencies to advise the business representatives of the current realities of public education today and to help drive decisions around Foundation goals, strategies, and initiatives.
