Cleveland Metropolitan School District said Tuesday it has received what might be its largest private donation ever, a $20 million donation from philanthropist MacKenzie Scott.
The $20 million donation “will be used to broaden students’ horizons, strengthen support for staff and principals, and make improvements that benefit the District and community,” the district said in a news release.
The donation, which is the largest private gift in at least 20 years, and may be the largest donation in the district's history, came as a surprise to the district, which did not ask the foundation for money. “We are very grateful for this incredible gift,” CMSD Chief Executive Officer Eric Gordon said. “It will give our scholars exposure to travel and other experiences that will broaden their world view and make their education more meaningful. We also will be able to invest more deeply in professional development for staff and make improvements in facilities and equipment.”
