Been away on vacation (Sunny Puerto Rico) and just read this post. Westchester county is a wealthy school district and many of these celebs and ballers could surely cover a mere 300,000 like it’s chump change. The problem in NY state is that the homeowners pay major taxes to cover school taxes. These celebs are probably droppin 30,000 a year as it is on school taxes even if they have no kids in shool. When a school district doesnt pass it’s budget the first thing that is threatened is Sports and Band. Many parents that didnt vote to pass the budget the first time come out and pass it the second time. Most times the budget passes, extracurricular activities come back (the superintendent and administration get their raises) and everybody is happy.

@Smity — No one said they can’t donate the money and request it not be publicized. But then when do celebs ever do that?

maybe they scared that if one of them comes out of pocket for the school then other school and other organizations will be like, “yo, can we have some money too? you know you can afford it.”-i guess even regular people (family members and whatnot) will have even more of an argument when they hounding for dollars…

i never understand this.. the people with the money are asking the poeple without the money to dont whatever they dont have..

That money should be easily paid by any of those celebs. I mean R. Jefferson gave arizona couple mils and they donating big money to politics but when it comes to schools they have to do fund raisers
