Hi friends, family, and community members,

On behalf of SIPAT (Spanish Immersion Parents and Teachers) the PTA organization at Cesar Chavez Elementary School in Davis, California — and we are reaching out to ask for your support in funding two critical school positions for the upcoming 2025–2026 school year: a PBIS Paraeducator and a Campus Safety Supervisor.

These roles are essential to our school’s safety and the well-being of over 500 students — but they’re no longer going to be funded by our school district.

SIPAT is stepping up to cover the cost, but we need your help to raise $57,561 to make sure our students don’t go without this vital support.

Who We’re Raising Money For:

PBIS Paraeducator – $35,100

This dedicated team member works directly with students every day to:

Reinforce positive behavior through the PBIS (Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports) framework

Support children who need extra guidance and encouragement, whether it be emotionally or academically

Help create nurturing and inclusive classroom and playground environments for all students

Campus Safety Supervisor – $22,461

This role ensures every child is safe throughout the school day by:

Providing adult supervision during recess, drop-off/pick-up, and lunch transitions

Monitoring school grounds and helping students navigate their day safely

Being a familiar and trusted presence across campus and first responder to all issues on campus, small or large

Why We’re Asking

We believe these positions should be funded by the district — and we’re advocating for that. But in the meantime, our kids can’t wait.

We can’t risk losing the kind, capable adults who:

Know our children by name

Keep our campus calm and safe

Support students emotionally and behaviorally every single day

This GoFundMe helps us bridge the gap and ensure continuity, stability, and safety in the year ahead.

Where Your Money Goes
