The Smithville Education Foundation (SEF) formerly the Association of Citizens for Education (ACE) formed in March of 2011. We are a 501 (c) 3 non-profit organization. 

SEF formed in reaction to statewide budget cuts in public education. Since our formation we have funded thousands of dollars in grants to SISD teachers. The mission of SEF is to help bridge the gap between our community and our schools to help ensure that every SISD student has the best education experience possible.

SEF funds two major programs- Innovative Teaching grants to SISD teachers and Brown Primary Enrichment days.
