Dear Present and Potential Corporate Advertising Partner: 

Colorado Springs School District 11 is pleased to continue its Corporate Advertising Partnership Program to generate much-needed funds for our schools.  This program has been in existence since 1993, and is used as a model throughout the world.   

We are the largest school district in the Pikes Peak region and draw pupils from throughout the community because of our focus on continuous improvement in student achievement, capital projects, technology implementation and community partnerships.  

When District 11 voters approved a mill levy override in 2000 and a general obligation bond in 2005, they also approved spending plans that spell out specifically how these additional funds will be allocated to support student achievement and help build a better, stronger school district.  The mill levy override funds will provide significant, but not unlimited, resources.  District 11 still has unfunded items on a priority needs list in the event that additional funding becomes available. 

Obviously, Corporate Advertising Partners are a significant part of our operation.  The funds we receive from your partnership are used to supplement our limited budget.  Through our advertising program, schools have been able to fund instructional supplies, musical instruments, scholarships, educational field trips, and tutoring and mentoring programs. 

Our community has received our advertising program very positively.  School District 11 developed a policy and regulations with parental and community involvement to assure advertising is appropriate.  Public service messages, which display company logos, have been especially popular with our community.     

If you would like more information, Mrs. Elaine Naleski, director of Communications and Community Relations, (719) 520-2286, manages the program internally, including approval of all proposed advertisements.       

Thank you for taking the time to consider supporting one of the best school districts in the nation through participation in the Corporate Advertising Partnership Program. 

Sincerely, 

Dr. Terry N. Bishop
Superintendent
