Why we’re here

Founded in 2024, the purpose of the Burnet CISD Education Foundation is to enhance community support and to expand resources that enrich teaching, inspire learning, and maximize opportunities for all students in the Burnet Consolidated School District.

The sole purpose of the Education Foundation is to benefit Burnet CISD by providing funds for educational programs and activities, which are not funded by the normal operating budget.

These funds will facilitate student achievement and skill development, recognize and encourage staff excellence, and expand community involvement from individuals, businesses, and civic organizations. Funding priorities will include funds for innovative teaching grants that will provide resources directly to the classroom for teachers to implement exciting new educational programs.

Who we are

We are parents, community leaders, business owners, retired teachers, and concerned citizens who care deeply about the students, teachers, and the future of education in Burnet.
