It will provide 75 Founding Member Organizations (FMO) unique opportunities to invest in their organization’s stability, present and future local workforce, and local economic prosperity.

Membership is an opportunity to establish a mutually beneficial understanding and collaborative working relationship between the entities that drive the Milpitas economy, MUSD and its strategic partners. At the May 11 meeting, Superintendent Cheryl Jordan announced a 3-year, $750,000 partnership with KLA, establishing the firm as one of the FMOs.

KLA Corporation, a global technology leader located in Milpitas, has donated $750,000 to the MUSD Innovation Campus Vision. The donation will give three years naming rights of the STEAM Lab to KLA. KLA has been a long time partner to Milpitas Unified School District and will most likely renew their partnership after three years. The donation amount will go to the completion of the Innovation Campus, specifically the Early Childhood Development Center and Workforce Pathways Center (theater).

MUSD is currently in discussion with the City of Milpitas for a partnership as a founding member. More details will follow in the next board meeting. MUSD is also looking forward to discuss partnerships with San Jose State University, San Jose City College, and Novoworks.
