MDUSD doesn’t have that. In fact, I don’t know of any effort of Steven Lawrence to even approach MDEA about applying.

This would have been a natural item for coordination for MDUSD with MDEA, Local 1 and CSEA if the employee unions had been contacted at the time of kick-off.

I would “share” a Facebook page like I’ do for sports, music and “other” activities for students. Last year several of my out of state family and friends donated to MDUSD school grad night, sports and music programs because I shared a page/ link to the information with them.
