Propelled by a belief that improving our public schools was too big a task for a school district to undertake alone, Ernest A. Galatz, former Governor Grant Sawyer, Dr. Lois Tarkanian, and Judi Steele worked to create The Public Education Foundation. In 1991,The Public Education Foundation was established as an independent 501(c)(3) non-profit Nevada corporation. Their first order of business was

to define possibilities and offer solutions to the challenges of educating a growing and diverse Southern Nevada population. In 2002, The Public Education Foundation created a green initiative dedicated to bringing resources to public classrooms and helping the environment. Since then, the Teacher EXCHANGE ™ has provided thousands of Clark County teachers with reusable, recycled and gently used materials and equipment. The Teacher EXCHANGE ™ is a re-use and recycle resource center for all Southern Nevada public school teachers offering learning tools to teachers to enhance projects and curriculum. Donations of new and reusable materials, office supplies, surplus materials, computers, office equipment and small furniture are collected from community businesses and individuals and provided at no charge to teachers for use in the classroom.
