Frequently Asked Questions

 

 

What is the Mission Statement of the TCS Foundation?

The mission of the Trussville City Schools Foundation is to mobilize community support for the Trussville City Schools and to secure resources from individuals, corporations and foundations for the support of the schools system that will stimulate each student to reach his or her fullest potential.

What is the purpose of the TCS Foundation?

The Foundation seeks to provide funds for classroom needs that are not covered in the school system’s general budget. Working in cooperation with the Trussville City Schools superintendent and principals, the Foundation identifies areas where financial support is crucial to achieving goals or completing projects and works toward fulfilling those needs.

What kind of community difference will the Foundation make to our community?

Top-notch schools such as Trussville’s are a source of pride for any community. Striving for their success unites us as we work toward a common goal. Well-educated young people make brighter leaders for the future. And as our schools draw people and business to our city, property values rise.

What are the Foundation’s long-term goals?

Our loftiest long-term goal is to establish, maintain, and build upon a substantial endowment fund, which will provide year-to-year funding of projects not normally funded by other sources. To do this, we’re working to develop the kind of broad and lasting community support from parents, teachers, corporations and other foundations that will sustain the Foundation for many years to come.

What are the Foundation’s immediate goals?

As our endowment fund builds, the TCS Foundation will all along provide funding for classroom enhancements such as technology upgrades, media equipment, laboratory equipment, and professional development. We have met and will continue to meet many needs at the new Hewitt-Trussville High School. As our other school facilities expand, they too will benefit from the Foundation’s efforts.

How is the Foundation’s leadership structured?

A Board of Directors, consisting of community leaders dedicated to the success of our Trussville City Schools, considers the needs of each school. The Directors work closely with liaisons, including the TCS superintendent, a TCS Board of Education member, a Trussville City Council member, and a Trussville Chamber of Commerce representative.
