Twenty-First Century Education Remains Top Priority Area business leaders are quick to agree that a rigorous 21st Century education is vital for the preparation of today's young people in their journey to become tomorrow's workforce. Skills like critical thinking, creativity, innovation, and communication are vital to our children's success in the classroom and beyond. That's why the El Segundo Educational Foundation continues to place a high priority on fundraising efforts every year that will enable the El Segundo Unified School District to continue its excellent curriculum for students of all ages.

Literacy Coaching Enhances Education for Elementary Students "The core of our program is servicing students who need additional support," says Kim Jones, reading specialist and literacy coach at Center Street School. Kim works with 50-60 students per day, some she sees multiple times each week, to provide intensive reading and language support. Between the two elementary schools, Kim and her counterpart at Richmond Street, Lisa Haun, saw approximately 150 students last year.
