Kevin Irot, Vice President and County Manager for First American Title shared, “We choose to support the San Luis Coastal Education Foundation because it produces positive results for the young people in our community. We want to support the enhanced educational opportunities provided by SLCEF programs and are proud to be a part in these efforts.” The donation is also a tribute to SLCEF board member Ben McAdams. “Ben sold us on the value with his glowing descriptions of the process and the results for our youth.”
A Foundation-championed initiative jointly designed by the Foundation and school district, iINNOVATE seeks to reimagine traditional frameworks of instruction in order to prepare students with the 21st century skills necessary to succeed in a changing global economy.
The program was launched by a $1.1 million lead gift from the Harold J. Miossi Charitable Trust.
