Public Schools: Why Private Dollars?
CALIFORNIA PUBLIC EDUCATION FUNDING IS COMPLICATED AND INADEQUATE.
WHY? THERE ARE FOUR MAIN FACTORS:

State Funding For Coronado Unified Is A

Education In California
Is Inadequate
California ranks 46th in the nation in school funding. With the
recent changes in how funding is allocated to California
school districts, which allocates funding dependent on student
demographics, districts like Coronado are ranked 50th in the
nation in school funding. While states like New York and New Jersey
average $20,000 per student, Coronado Unified receives about
$8,200 per student.
Local Control Funding
Formula District
While Coronado’s property taxes are high, only a small portion
funds education. Because of Redevelopment Agency related laws
from the 1980s, a majority of property tax revenues are being
diverted to the State, rather than to CUSD. As a result, CUSD
is an LCFF district and does not retain excess property taxes -
approximately $1 to $3 million dollars of ongoing monies that
benefit the State of California, rather than local schools.

While it’s true that California school districts have seen the biggest “Basic Aid” districts like Palo Alto Unified, Laguna Beach Unified and
increase in funding in recent years, these increases only serve to Santa Monica-Malibu Unified receive little state funding because
restore buying power to 2007 levels, before the Great Recession. their revenue from local property taxes exceeds what they would
receive from the Local Controlled Funding Formula – see below.

Increase in Donor Engagement
Coronado Schools Foundation Board of Directors has completed year one of the three-year
Strategic Plan approved in May of 2016. Developed under the facilitated guidance of a consultant
UNDATION

Financial Return
Imaginations
When CSF was incorporated by caring parents and community members
in 1982, the annual return to the schools was a few thousand dollars, GOAL
very important to the Coronado Unified classrooms. As depicted in the $1,000,000 2019-20
thermometer, increases over the years have been spurred by increased
parent and community engagement, efficient event planning, fundraising,
and administration oversight.

Since the 1990s, the CSF Board deposited 10% of the annual net income $830,000 2016-17
into an endowment fund which grew to nearly $1,000,000 in 2010 when the
Frances G. Harpst legacy gift of $3,800,000 was received. This life-changing $752,616 2013-14
gift for our public schools has now grown to $6,250,000 returning $310,000
to our schools for this school year.

Endow the Future $51,789 1993-94

Donations to the endowment provide both current year and perpetual benefits.
A gift of $25,000 provides a 4% return or $1,000 annually while a $250,000
donation provides $10,000 in perpetual funding. The endowment is managed by
the CSF Finance Committee with both Board and community members providing
financial stewardship. With Coronado Unified funded 36th out of 42 school
districts in Southern California, the need for ongoing perpetual funding is crucial
to maintain academic excellence and provide programs that fuel imaginations.

 Efficient Stewardship of Donor Funds
CSF Board of Directors and staff require efficient operations to maximize the return of donor funds back to the
classrooms of Coronado Unified. Board Chair Jim Grady, in his 7th year on the Board, and Vice Chair Renee
Cavanaugh, who also teaches 5th grade at Silver Strand, provide leadership for the 18 member Board of Directors.
Patty Cowan is starting her 13th year with the Foundation and leads the small professional staff of four full-time
employees and a part-time staff accountant.

These charts reflect the 2016-17 audited financials which can be found on our website at csfkids.org/annual-report.

 CONCERT IN THE PARK
Coronado Schools Foundation began partnering with a local business to
underwrite a concert in the Coronado Promenade Concerts series in 2006.
This “friend-raiser” provides outreach into the greater community for both CSF
Board of Directors and staff.

Park Life Real Estate owners Renee Wilson & Scott Grimes again stepped up
this year to underwrite the live band performance and show their support for our
local public schools for the August 28th concert. Started 47 years ago as a time
for families and friends to gather in Spreckels Park, this time-honored tradition
continues for all to enjoy.

Heather Frank and Jennifer Johnstad co-chaired the

October 2016 Glitz, Glamour, Gatsby Benefit Auction
at the Hotel del Coronado. Over 400 guests enjoyed an
elegant sit-down dinner and dancing to dueling pianos
while raising nearly $280,000 to benefit our public
schools. Our thanks to over 100 volunteers and 200
business partners whose in-kind donations make this
annual event possible.

 Team Tote students from Coronado Middle School hold up a tally for the 29th annual Telethon

$209,000 raised on March 9th which raised a total of $209,000 for our local public schools. Student
hosts from all four campuses (pictured on the cover) co-hosted and partnered with principals
and Superintendent Karl Mueller, to raise record funding for Coronado Unified. The 2017
Total Telethon marked the sixth year that this live TV event, aired over the Internet for deployed
parents and family members across the country to watch, was entirely produced by students

Raised under the direction of Producer Tony Perri. Students from both CMS and CHS came together
to produce the show with hundreds of students performing and over 150 volunteers assisting at
the Coronado High School Performing Arts Center and Quad.

River Of Giving Mosaic

If you’re on the campus at Coronado High School, stop by the River
of Giving mosaic, on the steps of the 400 building. Designed by
the CHS Art Department staff and students as a project-based
learning opportunity, it was unveiled in 2011 as a donor recognition
wall. Individuals and business donors giving $5,000 or $10,000
respectively are honored with a commemorative tile on the River of
Giving. CSF will again be adding new donor names with the assistance
of the CHS Art Department in the 2018-19 school year.

Creating a Lasting Legacy

PLANNED GIVING HONOR SOCIETY
Coronado Schools Foundation established a Planned Giving Honor Society in 1996 to encourage and recognize those individuals
who wish to provide a lasting gift to the students of Coronado’s public schools through a bequest in their will or trust. Leaving this
legacy of support will ensure that Coronado Unified students continue to have access to the tools they need well into the future.
Gifts may be made anonymously and all donations are tax deductible to the full extent of the law.

 CSF Celebrates Merchant and Volunteer of
the Year Recipients at Loews Donor Event
Kellen and Justin Gill, Renee Cavanaugh, and City Councilman Bill
Sandke and wife Tami joined over 100 guests at the Loews Donor Event.
Dr. Joe Mullins and Alan Kinzel were recognized as the 2017 Merchant
of the Year and Volunteer of the Year respectively on May 7th at the
Change-maker Donor Event, hosted by Managing Director Sean Clancy
at Loews Coronado Bay Resort. Guests enjoyed a Hawaiian-themed
buffet with a live guitarist performing as guests mingled and were
thanked for donating $1,200 or more annually in support of our local
schools. Students from Coronado Middle School, under the direction
of Amy Steward and Elizabeth Wertz, displayed their work from KCMS
Broadcasting, Digital Media, and Intro to Engineering, courses funded by
CSF Site Program Grants. Loews continues to be a strong supporter of
public education by hosting this annual event.

Volunteer of the Year Merchant of the Year

Community member Alan Kinzel of Teles Properties was
honored as the Volunteer of the Year for his planning
and execution of the first Coronado’s Got Talent in
March, donating $10,000 to Coronado’s public schools
via CSF. Alan approached CSF at the start of the school
year with the all-Coronado talent show concept to
showcase local talent of all ages. Following the audition
process, 25 acts were featured at the March 2nd event
at the Coronado High School Performing Arts Center.
The sold-out crowd was awed by the caliber and variety
of acts with local judges providing feedback. The top
three acts then performed at the March 9th Telethon.
Alan’s wife Lisa is a teacher at Silver Strand elementary
and his sons are both Islanders.
Dr. Mullins, Mullins Orthodontics, was honored as
Merchant of the Year for his strong support of our local
schools though CSF. Since the award was first given in
1989, Mullins Orthodontics joins a list of distinguished
businesses whose financial support has significantly
impacted public education. Since 2010, Dr. Mullins has
donated over $40,000 as Presenting Partner for the
Telethon, Benefit Auction underwriting, and proving
scholarships for the Summer Enrichment program.
Each year he brings his smiling staff to provide a photo
booth for kids of all ages at the March Telethon. He is
the Scoutmaster of Troop 801 with his sons Cole and
Landon actively involved. His wife Condra chaired
the 2015 Benefit Auction and is on the board for the
Coronado Middle School PTO.
