Gates Foundation Donates $10 Mln to Maine Schools | |
|
||
| Time: 09:58 EST/14:58 GMT | News Source: Bloomberg | Posted By: Byron Hinson | ||
|
The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation will donate $10 million to a program designed to improve the skills of high school students in Maine, where fewer than half the graduates enroll in college. The foundation, created by the chairman of Microsoft Corp. and his wife, committed the money to help school reform in the state. Maine began an effort to create smaller, more effective schools and classrooms after the state Department of Education described training deficiencies in a 1998 report, the Seattle- based foundation said in a statement. | ||

I remember hearing (although I forget the source), that Melinda was a programer at MS, and worked on Microsoft Bob.
Of course, Microsoft Bob, is one of those products that MS would probably like to forget that they had worked on. I believe that she is very involved with the foundation these days. |

| No, hodson, the B&M Foundation had committed to this figure before even with the knowledge that it was a Mac program. The whole process has been going on for 4 years, and the Foundation is "supposedly" platform agnostic and has "nothing" to do with Microsoft. |
