Manhattan Beach Ca Schools Finances

The Manhattan Beach Education Foundation has raised a record $600,000 for art, music and technology programs in addition to supplementing the district's class-size reduction program in first and second grades, officials announced Monday. The nonprofit organization encouraged residents and businesses to donate money for classes that have been cut over the years and to continue making elementary school classes smaller.

The Manhattan Beach Education Foundation raised more than $545,000 for local schools, a 36% increase over the amount raised by the foundation last year, officials announced Monday. "This is the most money we've gotten so far," said spokeswoman Christie Mavredakis. The money will finance programs in art, music, computers and science at seven Manhattan Beach schools, she said. The grants were awarded based on district requests.
