WHAT IS SEF? 
It’s all of us! Saratoga Education Foundation (SEF) is district families that work together to provide our children with enrichments that make their education more valuable and competitive.
We are all fortunate to be a part of a district that spends wisely and provides the best teachers, small class sizes, and quality campuses. SEF was founded to expand funding to also provide enrichments our community values. SEF has a board of directors that do the heavy lifting of coordinating donations and turning them into opportunities for our children but everyone that makes a donation is an equal member. We have several meetings throughout the year and two surveys where you can give input and gather information.
SEF provides enrichments to all district students each year with family contributions. 
For the 2025-2026 school year, SEF is collecting $552,000 to cover all grade-level school field trips and transportation for the 3 elementary schools and Redwood Middle School.  SEF will also fund Elementary Makerspace, Elementary Science Labs, seminars for Redwood Middle School students, and workshops targeted to parents and guardians of SUSD students.
