Staff turnover is a growing concern in education. At the Waterloo
Schools Foundation, we take pride in showing appreciation for
WCSD staff and their continued career serving our youth.

Starting in 2019, the WSF has partnered with the WCSD mentor coaches to cover the cost of the Standard Teaching Licenses of returning 3rd-year teachers. Once they complete their mentor program and commit to teaching for a third year in the Waterloo Schools, the WSF funds their $100 

license which is required by the Iowa Department of Education. As one of the only programs like this in the state, the Foundation is proud to have funded over 150 licenses so far.
