The DeKalb Central Foundation supports the DeKalb Middle School's sensory program! The purpose of the sensory program is to provide tools for ALL students to help them remain focused and on task in class. The funds from the foundation provided sensory toolboxes for every classroom, a sensory path for brain breaks, alternative seating options (wobble chairs, ball chairs, etc.), and specialized sensory equipment for students with specific sensory needs.
The DeKalb Central Foundation is proud to financially support DHS's Baron Friends Club for a holiday activity. Baron Friends Club matches students with and without disabilities to do activities together. Students rotated through four stations--Christmas cookie decorating, making an ornament craft, Christmas BINGO, and a game involving unwrapping many layers of wrapping paper!

The INAPEF Board of Directors shared they were working on proposed legislation with the Indiana School Boards Association (ISBA) that would create tax credits for donations to Indiana's K-12 public education, primarily through public education/school foundations.
We are pleased to tell you that bills have been drafted in both the Indiana Senate and House of Representatives for the 2018 legislative session that would establish those tax credits.
View the current drafts of the proposed legislation
Here is some information on the INAPEF website explaining the difference between tax credits and tax deductions.
How Can You Help?
Contact your local legislators and share with them the impact education foundations have on student learning and that there are bills in the 2018 legislative session that would help level the playing field for public education. We are asking your support for the proposed legislation to establish tax credits for public education.
We are thrilled to help DeKalb County’s Special Olympics team go to Seattle to represent DeKalb at the USA games!!!
