get support for your family
our team
SchoolPower is governed by a board of trustees, most of whom are parents of LBUSD students. Our success depends on a team of hard-working volunteers, a small, dedicated staff and a generous community. We work hand-in-hand with LBUSD educators to execute our programs.
