(MADISON) - A southern Indiana school district’s computer technology programs will get a $90,000 boost this year from a local company that’s making the donation anonymously.
Madison Consolidated Schools Superintendent Ginger Studebaker-Bolinger says a company that's relatively new to the Ohio River community will make quarterly donations this year to the district that will total $90,000 by year's end.
She says the money for expanding technology programs focusing on computer science is welcome because many technical jobs now require a background in computer science.
District spokeswoman Ashley Schutte tells The Madison Courier the district will begin receiving the donations about mid-year.
She says future donations will be based on a percentage of the company's profits and will be shared with Madison Consolidated Schools on a quarterly basis.
