“This program allows our customers to show support for their school with a mascot debit card,” Ms. Barnes said. “Citizens are able to directly support our community schools by donating five cents for every point-of-sale transaction using those cards.”

The Kearney School District has been part of the School Debit Card program since 2011 and to date has received $74,843 as a result.

The mission of the Kearney School District Education Foundation is to bring together area business and community leaders who value education to guide and direct resources outside the district budget thereby providing opportunities to enrich the educational experience for KSD students and staff.
