Elder Grove School District
Every student deserves the tools to learn.
Elder Grove hasn't passed a funding levy since 2007. The GROVE Foundation is a new, school-connected nonprofit raising community support to replace core reading, math, and science curriculum — with full district oversight.
Priority 1
Core Academic Needs
Curriculum adoption, instructional materials, and academic intervention programs.

Priority 3

School-wide programs, as funds allow —
after core needs are met.
Why it Matters
Elder Grove is growing faster than its funding.
The GROVE Foundation: (Generating Resources for Opportunity, Vision, & Education) exists to support student programs through fundraising, volunteerism, and community engagement while promoting school spirit and academic excellence.
No successful levy has passed since 2007 — the district is effectively operating on a 20-year-old budget across two campuses. Meanwhile, enrollment needs keep growing and curriculum replacement cycles go unplanned and unfunded.
The GROVE Foundation exists to close that gap: a transparent, district-approved way for families and local businesses to invest directly in Elder Grove classrooms.
