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 two decades that has supplemented that district\u2019s investment in academic, arts, and wellness programs across all grades. 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, and enter high school with comparable skills and experiences as their peers. We pursue this goal through fundraising, advocacy, and partnering with other organizations that share our values."
