Partners in Education

We thank the following partners in education who have supported our schools and our students:

Madera COMPACT
The Madera Compact is a coalition of business, community and education leaders working collaboratively to support efforts to improve the quality of life in Madera County. The Madera Compact promotes business partnerships with schools to improve the achievement levels and skills of students and prepare young people for the increasing demands of society and the workplace.

If you have any questions regarding the Compact, please contact Cyndy Dolph by email at CDolph@maderacoe.k12.ca.us or at
(559)662-3870.

Madera Educational Foundation
The Madera Educational Foundation began as the Linkage program in 1981 to serve as a link between business and schools. In 1987, non-profit status was obtained and the Madera Linkage Foundation was formed. In 1999, the Foundation refocused its commitment to education and was rededicated as the Madera Educational Foundation. Last year, more than $10,000 in teacher mini-grants were given to implement innovative ideas in the classroom. MEF is also proud to partner with the Darin M. Camarena Health Centers, Inc. to provide matching grants for qualified applicants.

The goals of MEF include:
     -        To increase community awareness of success in Madera Unified
           schools
     -        To broaden community support for MUSD
     -        To support innovative programs that contribute to increased
           student achievement
     -        To provide recognition to exemplary student, staff and
           community members; efforts toward meeting the MUSD mission
