Anonymous Donor Gives Thousands to Tulsa Public Schools
Tulsa Public Schools received a very generous donation Monday from an anonymous donor.
TPS announced they have received a $175,000 grant from an anonymous donor that will be used to fund eight service specialists and social workers in the district’s high schools for the upcoming academic year.
The positions were recently eliminated from the budget June 14. The cuts were included in the $4.2 million eliminated from the TPS special education budget caused by the end of 2009 stimulus funding by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) in addition to reductions in state funding by the Oklahoma legislature.
