IPSF ANNUAL REPORT
2009-2010
Times
have changed
since most of us were
in school. State support

want our kids to have the
education they deserve, the
only people we can depend
on are ourselves. Parents.
B u s i n e s s . T h e c o m m u n i t y.
I P S F. A l l o f u s j o i n e d
together in a circle
of support.
Since 1996, IPSF has existed for one
reason: To make sure our children get
a world-class education.
This IPSF Annual Report will give you
a picture of what you have helped us
accomplish, where your donations go,
and the good things they’ve made
possible. We also want to celebrate
and thank the parents, community
members, alumni, businesses, corporations and associations who come
together in support of excellence in
education. We are truly fortunate to
live in a community that values
education so highly.
This past year, your donation helped
us pay the salaries of instructional
assistants, who in turn give elementary
teachers the flexibility to organize their
classrooms into small reading groups
that encourage every type of reader,
and instill a love of reading that lasts
a lifetime. The City of Irvine matched
those gifts, showing their commitment
to the education of their residents.
Fine Arts education is thriving in Irvine
thanks to you. Your donation helped
IPSF provide after-school and summer enrichment classes, as well as
our award-winning Instrument Rental
Program and Honors Concert.
With your help, IPSF was able to
fund Zero Period PE in our middle
schools, to allow students the flexibility
to take an extra elective. To explore.
To discover that new passion that will
make a difference in their lives.
As you read this report, you’ll learn
more about what our community has
made possible– what YOU have made
possible– in support of education.
Today, as state budgets continue to
shrink, your support is more important
than ever. Critical, in fact, if we are to
ensure our children have the tools they
need to be competitive and to excel,
whatever their chosen field.
Our goal at IPSF is simple: to be here
now, and into the future, supporting
enrichment opportunities you simply
can’t find anywhere else. For every
child. For your child.
With gratitude,
Neda Zaengle, IPSF CEO
BOARD OF TRUSTEES, ADVISORY COUNCIL AND STAFF
Before we go on to break down the numbers, it’s only fitting that we present you with some of our
greatest assets: The people who make IPSF what it is. Some of our staff receive salaries. The rest
volunteer their time, for our benefit. And yours.

ASSETS AND EXPENDITURES
IPSF is playing a greater role in school funding than at any time in our fourteen year history.
As state resources shrink, our contribution to our own schools grows. It is clear to us that local
revenue, and the local control it allows, will be critical to the future success of our students and
our schools.

ENRICHMENT
PROGRAMS
ENRICHMENT PROGRAMS that improve the quality of education
IPSF, working in partnership with IUSD, runs enrichment programs that add immeasurably to the
choices students have at all levels, from K-12. These programs are partly funded by donations, and
partly through classroom fees. In this way, IPSF is able to make programs available that otherwise
would simply not exist.
Support for the Honors Concert,
the Program to Advance Cultural
Education (PACE), Walk to School Day
and other community outreach programs
Support for Science Little League,
Summer Enrichment Academy and
Zero-Period PE
Support for the Instrument
Rental Program
Support for ACE and
My College Knowledge.
TOTAL: $1,708,362 in programs that enrich students’ lives. Programs no school district should be without.
IUSD AT A GLANCE
Over 10,000 of our students (roughly 39%) have a primary language other than English. More than 3,900 students (about 14.5%) are limited in their English proficiency.
ACADEMIC SUPPORT BENEFITTING 27,000 STUDENTS
IPSF plays a greater role today than at any time in our history. As state resources continue to shrink, the
need for IPSF grows. Some of the things we must pay for would shock you: Nurses and health clerks,
for example. All the more reason for every parent, every family, to give as generously as they can.
middle & high school
SUPPORT, $165,802 (16%)
IPSF helps fund Language and
College Planning classes, Innovative Teacher and Counselor grants,
the Parent Volunteer of the Year
program, as well as initiatives that
help your child handle middle
and high school better, including
Freshman Success programs, Grad
Night and Summer Enrichment
Academy.
SCIENCE, MATH,
TECHNOLOGY,
RECYCLING,
$27,682 (3%)
IPSF supports the IUSD
Science Fair, Technology,
Math, and the IUSD
Recycling program. Each
of them, a way to encourage
young minds to make a
difference– and have the
tools to do it.
District music and
art, $26,196 (2%)
Studies have shown students
who participate in the arts
outperform those who don’t, on
virtually every measure. IPSF
supports music and art, with
events like the Annual Honors
Concert and the Young Masters
Art Program. By showcasing students in a public setting, IPSF
also helps instill in them the
confidence they need to excel.
WHERE THE
MONEY GOES
ACADEMIC
SUPPORT
NURSES AND HEALTH CLERKS, $144,000 (14%)
From skinned knees to daily medications, nurses and
health clerks are there for all 27,000 IUSD students only
because IPSF funds them. Would you feel good about a
school without them? We didn’t think so.
ELEMENTARY LEVEL SUPPORT, $185,165 (18%)
From kindergarten through sixth grade, IPSF makes
a difference. Your contributions to IPSF help fund the
Health Curriculum, Music Instructional Assistants, Math
Fluency, Afterschool Classroom Enrichment, Innovative
Teacher and Counselor grants, the Summer Enrichment
Academy, the Parent Portal and the Parent Volunteer of
the Year program. All to help make sure your child gets
the education he or she deserves.
Support for the Instrument
Rental Program
CLASSROOM SUPPORT, $500,000 (48%)
IPSF supports every IUSD school. Grades K-6 receive
additional instructional support, while grades 7-12
get better student-to-teacher ratios. In 2009-10, IPSF
funded 930 hours of additional classroom instruction in
K-6, and 10 additional certified teachers in grades 7-12.
TOTAL: $1,048,845 in academic support the state can’t pay for, won’t pay for, or will pay for only in part.

INNOVATION

IN THE CLASSROOM
RECOGNIZING AND REWARDING CUTTING-EDGE TEACHERS
Great ideas and innovative techniques can take education to the next level. Few things are worse than to
see them ground under the heels of budget constraints. Enter ITAP/ICAP, the Innovative Teaching Award
Program and the Innovative Counseling Award Program. Teachers and Counselors present their ideas for
specific projects and, with the support of our community partners, we help find the money.
INNOVATIVE USES OF TECHNOLOGY such
as webcams, camcorders, mini laptops, document
cameras, high-end design software and Mimios,
a system that converts a white board into an
interactive medium. Irvine teachers at all levels–
elementary through high school– are coming up
with cutting edge ways to use technology in teaching, in counseling and in communication between
the school and the home. Your child benefits.
ELEMENTARY PROJECTS THAT HELP YOUR
CHILD READ BETTER Guided reading materials,
literature circles. sight-based reading materials, plus
new library books of various levels and content. All
to help improve reading proficiency, fluency and
comprehension. Not to mention helping to develop a
lifelong love of reading.
ELEMENTARY PROJECTS THAT HELP YOUR
CHILD LEARN MATH Manipulatives, like the
ones you see here, help kids get a true grasp of
complex concepts like decimals and fractions. They
also help give kids who think they can’t do math
the confidence to succeed. It all adds up.
MUSIC MATTERS. Music is a bedrock
of a world-class education. Not simply an
understanding and appreciation of it, nor even
learning an instrument and performing. Simple
exposure to music in a classroom setting has been
shown to pay dividends in higher test scores as
your child progresses from grade to grade. ITAP
grants have gone to support music-based projects
in both elementary and middle school.
A GREENER TOMORROW We don’t own the
planet. We borrow it from our kids. This middle
school project helps kids take their future into
their own hands and participate in an ecology
challenge, encouraging them to create community
solutions to environmental problems.
COMMUNITY SEMINAR Challenge Day is a
school-wide workshop for 10th–12th graders,
focusing on community-building and leadership.
Community is one reason why our schools continue
to be so strong, despite the challenges. Communitybuilding is a skill that can be passed along, and
we’re happy to support it.
DRAWING ON YOUR CHILD’S CREATIVITY
The Artists/Writers Workshop is a 4th grade program
that teaches writing through art. Our grant paid for
teacher training materials, art supplies and picture
books.
In 2009-2010, IPSF awarded ITAP/ICAP grants for 17 different projects. Key donors included
PATS (Parents Appreciating Teachers and Staff), the Allergan Foundation, the Exchange Club of Irvine
and the Newport-Irvine Rotary Club. For a complete list of ITAP/ICAP grants and projects,
visit www.ipsf.net.
TOTAL: $34,823 for innovative ideas and the resources to bring them to life.
Honor Roll, 2009-2010
Over the next several pages are the names of 1,298 individuals whose donations helped make it
possible for IPSF to support our schools. Naturally enough, most are parents. But you’ll also see
teachers, administrators and alumni, even a student or two. We’ll be honest: The list is nowhere near
as long as we’d like it to be, or as long as our 27,000 students need it to be. But we believe, in
time, that will come. So for now, to everyone who did give: Thank you!

WHY DO WE ASK?
CALIFORNIA,
A N D T H E S TAT E O F
E D U C AT I O N.
The short answer first:
We ask because it’s the
only way we can give your child
a first-rate education.
The longer answer is a
bit more complicated. By
law, all property taxes go into
a common pool, which is then
doled out to schools according
to several arcane formulas.
As California’s budget woes
have worsened, this pool has
proved all too tempting for our
legislators, who’ve dipped into
it, time and time again, to make
up for shortfalls elsewhere.
Every year, they dip deeper,
leaving our schools less and
less to work with.
To keep our schools great–
and standards high– we have
only one option: To turn to you.
NOTABLE
ALUMNI: MUSIC
j ere m y siskin d
A school district isn’t simply known
for the company it keeps, but for
the graduates it produces.
To our way of thinking, every
child has the potential to achieve
great things. Here, then, are a few
who have done just that, starting
with Irvine High School grad
Jeremy Siskind.
Jazz legend Marian McPartland calls
Jeremy “a remarkable young pianist and
rising star in the jazz world.”
Born and raised in Irvine, Jeremy is
a 2004 graduate of Irvine High School.
He won a scholarship to the Eastman
School of Music where he became a pianist for the famed Eastman Jazz. He holds
a Master’s in English and Comparative
Literature from Columbia University.
As an Irvine student, he participated
in many competitions, which he credits as
helping him prepare for world-class venues
such as Carnegie Hall, the Kennedy Center
and Orchard Hall in Tokyo, Japan.
Siskind has already made his mark on
the Big Apple jazz scene, recording with
Chris Potter, Marcus Printup, and Chris
Lightcap, and gigging at clubs like Iridium,
Fat Cat, Small’s, and the Jazz Gallery. He’s
also one of five finalists nationwide for the
American Pianist Association’s $50,000
Cole Porter Fellowship this spring.
In 2005, Siskind created an Artist-inResidency program at Irvine High School.
Every year, he brings a group of musicians
to work with, perform with, and inspire the
school’s jazz bands.

“Live from New York, it’s Saturday
Night!” We all know the words.
Now, we know one of the stars.
Born in Tehran, Iran, Nasim Pedrad,
part of the SNL cast, was raised in Irvine
and attended Westpark Elementary and
Rancho Middle School. In 1999, she
graduated from University High School
and continued on to UCLA’s School of
Theatre, Film and Television.
Nasim has written and performed
sketch comedy at the Upright Citizens
Brigade, The Groundlings and Improv
Olympic, and has received an LA Weekly
“Best Comedic Performance of the Year”
Award as the lead in the comedic spoof
“After School Special.”
In addition to co-star appearances
in “Gilmore Girls” and “ER,” Nasim
Pedrad’s first one-woman show “Me,
Myself & Iran” debuted at the UCB, and
was selected for the 2007 HBO Comedy
Festival in Las Vegas. Nasim has also appeared in the sitcom “It’s Always Sunny in
Philadelphia.”

DR. RICHARD BAICK
Dr. Richard Baick is a native of Irvine.
He attended Turtle Rock Elementary,
Rancho Middle School and graduated from
University High School in 1984.
Following his undergraduate studies at
Johns Hopkins University, he attended the
Loma Linda University School of Medicine,
graduating in 1995. He completed his
Residency in Family Medicine at Lutheran
General Hospital in Chicago.
Dr. Baick says, “I could not have
achieved my dreams without the love
and support of my parents, Dr. and Mrs.
Choong Baick. I could not have reached
my goals without the finest education in
America.”
It’s not every day that a student gets
the opportunity to save his teacher’s life,
but that is exactly what Dr. Baick did. He
diagnosed Mr. Dan Wroblicky with an
abnormal heart murmur and sent him for
further tests. It was discovered that Dan
had a mitral valve prolapse, requiring
surgery. The surgery was successful and
Dan was back to work in record time,
teaching students at University High.
Dr. Baick lives in Irvine and is currently
a board-certified family physician with the
Irvine Family Practice Medical Group.

Adam Keefe, a former NBA
power forward, graduated in
1988 from Woodbridge High.
There, he set many of the school’s
basketball records and was
named California Athlete of the
Year by USA Today.
From Irvine, Adam went on to Stanford
University, earning a political science
degree while playing both basketball
and volleyball. He was the Pac-10’s
fifth all-time scorer and fourth all-time
rebounder. His 1,119 college career
rebounds rank No. 1 in Stanford history
and No. 4 in conference history, behind
only Mel Counts, Bill Walton and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.
In the 1992 NBA Draft, the Atlanta
Hawks selected Keefe as 10th overall.
He spent 9 years in the NBA, mainly with
the Utah Jazz, appearing in the 1997
and 1998 NBA Finals. In 1999, he
played in his 500th career game.
Adam currently lives in Pacific Palisades with his wife, Kristen (a member of
the 1996 US National Volleyball team)
and their four children.
LEGACY PARTNERS
The IPSF Legacy Partners Major Gifts Campaign recognizes the
dedication and commitment of major individual contributors for
their support of Irvine schools who, through their great generosity,
create a legacy of leadership and financial support.
Legacy Partners was established in 2004-2005 by parents
who wanted the opportunity to contribute to the welfare of the
entire Irvine Unified School District, support our Irvine schools at
a significant level and help build a lasting standard of academic
excellence for all students. Today, Legacy Partners are those who
have donated $10,000 or more to IPSF.
We’re proud to have welcomed 72 Legacy Partners since the program began. They have been,
and continue to be, instrumental in providing world class educational programs and opportunities
to IUSD’s 27,000 students.
In 2009, we launched the “100 Legacy Partners Campaign.” Our goal: a total of 100 partners
by the end of 2011 school year. Join us. And be part of the legacy.

By 2007, Garrett Atkins of the
Colorado Rockies was firmly
established as one of major league
baseball’s premier hitters. He got
his start in one of the country’s
premier school systems. Ours.
A 1997 graduate of University High School,
Atkins earned All-League honors for three
consecutive seasons, helping to lead
University High to two league titles. He
was named League MVP as a junior and
senior, and Athlete of the Year in 1997.
Atkins was drafted by the NY Mets out
of high school, but instead chose to attend
UCLA. There, he racked up the longest hitting streak in their history (33 games) and
became the first Bruin to ever become a
three-time All-American.
Garrett was drafted in 2000 by the Colorado Rockies and, by 2006, had posted a
.329 batting average, putting him in the
top 10 of nearly all batting categories– and
in the running for the NL MVP award.
Garrett currently lives in Irvine and is
the spokesperson for the 100 IPSF Legacy
Partners Campaign.

Education is a partnership between the schools, the parents and the
community. As state funds have dwindled, that partnership has become more
important than ever. In that spirit, a number of companies have pledged to
match their employees’ contributions, one-for-one, in effect doubling your
contribution. It is a partnership of a high caliber, and we thank them sincerely
for their generosity– and their vision.
