History

Established in 1981.

BCE is a volunteer-​driven charitable organization incorporated in 1981. We are governed by a 14-​member volunteer Board of Directors and supported by two part-​time staff: the Executive Director and Administrative Assistant. Parent volunteers from all six school sites comprise the Board of Directors. A member of the BSD Board of Trustees, the Superintendent, a school principal and the PTA Council President serve as liaisons, attending the quarterly public board meetings. Over 100 volunteers on the BCE Advisory Board plan and execute BCE’s Annual Campaign and fundraising events. At the end of each school year, BCE provides a grant to the Burlingame School District. The school district makes informed decisions about how the money will best serve our children’s educational needs.
