The Dalai Lama Foundation

The Dalai Lama foundation raises money to educate the world on the Dalai Lama's teachings.

By: Daniel Riney

The Dalai Lama foundation was created by the Dalai Lama in 2002, and is driven by the Dalai Lama’s teachings.

The Dalai Lama foundation preaches the Dalai Lama’s wise words about world peace, and attempts to educate the world on his teachings. The charity was originally funded by a core group of the Dalai Lama’s closest friends, and has since taken off and raised a significant amount of money.

The initial offering that was given to the foundation was a “Study Guide” for the Dalai Lama’s book Ethics for the New Millennium. The foundation’s website have a range of different texts and videos which explain the importance of peace in the modern world and address other issues regarding peace and ethics.

The Dalai Lama foundation connects with many other organizations such as The Foundation for Universal Responsibility, The Dalai Lama Center for Peace and Education, and The Dalai Lama Center for Ethics and Transformative Values. These organizations team up and work together on their mission to educate the world about the Dalai Lama’s teachings.

g, Let's throw out some more numbers... Here is a site to look at:Read More http://www.sde.ct.gov/sde/lib/sde/PDF/dgm/report1/basiccon.pdf This is the Connecticut State Department of Education Bureau of Grants Management spreadsheet. It shows and compares what Danbury is paying per student compared to the rest of the state. Looking at the numbers, out of the 170+ districts in the state, Danbury pays the 8th LEAST amount per pupil. Out of the 10 districts in Connecticut that have over 10,000 students, Danbury ranks 2nd LOWEST in the state. This amount is about $3,000 less per pupil than the average of the state and the average of districts with 10,000+ students.

Good afternoon Jessica, Danbury plans to spend approximately $114,000,000 on teaching staff salaryRead More and benefits for the next school year per the school budget here - http://www.danbury.k12.ct.us/bbadmin/Budget/2012-2013%20budget.pdf the total budget is $121,000,000. Teachers, administrators, contracted professionals, staff enrichment programs, staff insurance, and the rest comprise about 95% of the school system budget. See staff cost summary on page 8 of the report. You'll also note our board of education plans to spend a bit more than 3 million dollars on supplies and materials plus a million on equipment. The budget represents a 5% increase from the prior year. On our district home page - http://www.danbury.k12.ct.us/ it says Danbury has 10,300 my calculator tells me that's about $12,000 per child in the district. With $12,000 per child, why are teachers paying for supplies? Hmm ... let me think ... 95% of the budget goes to staff salary and benefits for the long 185 day year .... I have a guess where the money goes. Do you?
