Important Notice: Over 50% of MBUSD families have already raised $5.2 million to support educator positions across our schools next year. But this year, that’s not enough.

With a $6.8 million budget deficit and almost 60 preliminary staffing reductions, our schools are at a critical point. Fewer teachers mean larger class sizes—and larger class sizes make it harder to meet individual student needs.

MBEF is extending the Annual Appeal until May 30 to reach those who have not yet donated yet and those who want to give more. Every $125,000 raised now has the power to restore one classroom teaching position.

There are several ways to commit to excellence in education through MBEF – please choose the one right for you. Each donor level comes with a unique set of Annual Appeal Benefits to recognize and thank you for your support.

Thank you to the 2025-26 Annual Appeal Donors who have invested in our schools with a donation or pledge towards the annual goal of $5.2 Million. Programs and educator positions funded by donations to MBEF are dependent on this annual commitment from families.

Your investment has a tremendous impact on teaching and learning in our schools!
