Superintendent: Anonymous donor gave $105,000 to Bermudian Springs autistic support classroom
Summary
Superintendent Dr. Brad Sterner told the board an anonymous donor provided $105,000 to the district's elementary autistic support classroom and has pledged ongoing support; he said the district will bring confirmed plans back to the board.
Dr. Brad Sterner, the Bermudian Springs School District superintendent, told the board the district received an anonymous donation of $105,000 designated for the elementary autistic support classroom and that the donor has committed to ongoing funding.
"The donation was in the amount of a $105,000, that went directly to that program, and it was used so well," Sterner said, adding that the donor recently met with district staff and indicated a willingness to continue supporting the program.
Sterner said the gift came during a transition year for the music program and praised staff and community turnout at recent performances he attended as his first as superintendent. He told the board the district will return with confirmed details and any future requests once arrangements with the donor are finalized.
The contribution will be presented to the board for any required approvals or budget adjustments when specific proposals are ready. The superintendent did not name the donor; program staff told the board the funds were used to support students in the autistic support classroom. No further funding schedule or contractual terms were specified at the meeting.
