The Live Oak Education Foundation is based on a strong belief in equity and that all kids, no matter their race, socio-economic background, or neighborhood deserve every opportunity afforded to their peers. Many people do not know that while kids who live in the Live Oak community attend elementary and middle schools in the Live Oak School District, they attend high school in the Santa Cruz City School District. Santa Cruz City Schools has had an education foundation for over a decade that has supplemented that district’s investment in academic, arts, and wellness programs. We established the Live Oak Education Foundation in 2014 to ensure that our students have just as many opportunities as students in the surrounding communities, so that they do not continue to join their peers in high school at a significant disadvantage.
