It is a fact that great schools create strong communities and strong communities help establish bright futures for our students.  The Madera County School Boards Association and the schools districts that we represent would like to present the “It’s All Here” campaign to bring recognition to all of the schools in Madera County.  This recognition is based on the tremendous growth, building projects and academic achievement that the schools in Madera County have been experiencing.

This project is designed to bring to the community the information of the projected growth of Madera County and the proactive steps the school districts and educational providers in Madera County are taking to support this growth.

 Madera County’s Growth:

• From 1990 - 2000, Madera County was the third fastest growing county in the State of California as determined by the US Census¹ with a 39.75% growth during the ten-year period.
• In 2003 - 2004, Madera County was the 89^th fastest growing county in the United States with a single year growth of 4%².
• Madera County is on a growth path to reach a population of 178,900 by 2010 and 224,000 by 2020³.

“Bright Futures and Strong Communities” are the highlights of our information campaign as the Madera County School Boards Association members recognize that facilities appropriate for 21^st century learners are necessary to educate our future workers and instill a sense of pride in our communities and in our county.

As Madera County Schools continue to show growth academically in reaching or exceeding state academic standards, our school districts’ boards of trustees continue to build and renovate our classrooms to meet the needs of a 21st century student.
