I wish I had thought of that ...
Brilliant.
But hey its the thought that counts right LeDouche..slap his name on the school, make the taxpayers flip the bill
So he fronted some tax exempt/write off money in a Charter School start up? If he guaranteed college tuition for all, that would say something lol (obviously that’s not fiscally possible even for a millionaire). What a fraud and look who pays the real bill.
Just seeing the media coverage, I thought he must be fully funding a new private school that would be a cut above typical public schools in the area.
Why didn’t Akron just say “no thanks”? Or at least, no thanks to some of the perks?
Should public schools be for sale for personal (or corporate) branding?
I don’t think so.
Akron City School District is paying a large part of the bill.
