The Mt. Laurel Public Education Fund is an independent non-profit charitable organization whose mission is to support quality education in the Mt. Laurel Public Schools. Since 1994 the Fund has donated more than $700,000 to the Mt. Laurel School District, monies used to fund technology upgrades for each classroom, grants to teachers to support innovative programs, and scholarships to students in need of tutoring whose families may find it a financial burden.
Last year the MLPEF donated $30,000 to the district, funds that were used to restore several after-school clubs and related activities deleted from the district’s operating budget due to recent state aid reductions.
