With the endorsement of the Board of Education, the Superintendent has authorized a Districtwide campaign to help alleviate the suffering of victims of the hurricane Katrina that struck states situated on the coast of the Gulf of Mexico on August 29, 2005, killing and injuring thousands, and destroying billions of dollars worth of property. The hurricane was a storm of historic proportions with more than 500,000 people left homeless in Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama and Georgia.

Superintendent Roy Romer and Members of the Board of Education have organized a Districtwide fund-raising campaign to provide much needed assistance to the hurricane victims. The goal of this current relief drive is to collect funds for the American Red Cross. http://www.redcross.org
