DESCRIPTION:
Mad for Plaid Month raises funds for teachers and students.
The Highland Park Education Foundation's Mad for Plaid initiative is a significant annual fundraising campaign to support the Highland Park Independent School District (HPISD) in Texas. Typically observed during a designated month, this venture supports community-wide participation and various fundraising activities, united by the "Mad for Plaid" theme.
Mad for Plaid began in 1995 to address funding shortfalls in the HPISD due to state budget cuts and the Robin Hood plan, which requires property-wealthy school districts to share their revenue with less affluent districts. The primary goal of Mad for Plaid is to raise funds to bridge the gap between the district's needs and the state's financial support, ensuring the continuation of high-quality education and programs.
The funds raised through Mad for Plaid directly support the students and teachers of the HPISD. The campaign has historically focused on teacher salaries, technology upgrades, professional development for educators, and educational programs that might otherwise face cuts. The community's involvement, including parents, alumni, local businesses, and residents, highlights a collective commitment to maintaining and enhancing the district's educational standards.
Over the years, Mad for Plaid has become a hallmark of community engagement and support for public education in Highland Park. The month-long event often features various activities, from community events to donor drives, all aimed at bolstering the district's financial resources. This initiative not only raises necessary funds but also fosters a sense of community and shared responsibility for the quality of local education.
