The COCISD Educational Foundation was formed by a group of caring and committed citizens with a vision to enhance the educational opportunities and student success in the COCISD school district.
​
The COCISD general operating budget focuses on mandated costs. In today's economy, most school districts no longer have discretionary funds for services and activities that exceed minimum needs and requirements. A substantial investment is required to sustain excellent educational programs and services that require technology, laboratories, cultural experiences, up-to-date occupational and technical equipment and resource materials.
​
The Education Foundation is a 501(c)3 tax-exempt philanthropic organization. A volunteer board of directors composed of business, community, and educational leaders governs the foundation.
