They received 2 billion as part of a desegregation case. Needless to say they went out and wasted it.
I really think the people that run these school districts would be bankrupt in a year if they won the lottery. :roll:
Once the district had enough desegregation money to build such amenities as an Olympic-sized swimming pool. But the effort to use upscale facilities and programs to lure in students from the suburbs never worked quite as planned.
