Mayor Mike Anderson recognized past president of Lafayette Partners in Education Lisa Spiegler with a proclamation at the Sept. 9 city council meeting.
Anderson noted that during the last cycle of fundraising under Spiegler, LPIE managed to raise $4.4 million, which was $750,000 more than last year and a quarter of a million more than the goal for the year.
Spiegler thanked the team of LPIE administrators and teachers along with parents, the community and schools, and noted this first year of a new consolidated giving campaign funding model, which streamlines the process and allows for more transparency, was a huge success. She said that fundraising was at its highest ever, overall participation is up, they have more business partners and visibility has increased.
Spiegler said, "I'm proud to live in a community that values public education and local control, and is willing to step in when state dollars fall short and costs continue to rise."
