The Fresno Unified School District has received a $20 million donation from wealthy philanthropist MacKenzie Scott (FUSD).
According to The Fresno Bee, the school system revealed during a news conference on Wednesday that the funds will go to the newly established FUSD Foundation for Fresno Unified Schools.
According to Fresno Superintendent Bob Nelson, a "instrument of luxury" like a foundation seemed out of reach because of the city's high poverty rate and the school district's "poor self-image."
