Zuckerberg, wife gift $120M to CA schools

Speaking of dispersing of internet monies .... I'm still living in the 60's .... nice gesture on their part .... I don't remember anyone donating 120 million in the 60's, other than the government. I'm surprised Obama didn't offer to purchase the Clippers and let the government run them ... they are already losers, much like our government ... may do a blog on that.

MENLO PARK, Calif. (AP) — Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg and his wife, Priscilla Chan, are donating $120 million to the San Francisco Bay Area's public school system.

The couple's gift will be spread over the next five years and is the biggest allocation to date of the $1.1 billion in Facebook stock the couple pledged last year to the nonprofit Silicon Valley Community Foundation.

"Education is incredibly expensive and this is a drop in the bucket. What we are trying to do is catalyze change by exploring and promoting the development of new interventions and new models," Chan said in an interview Thursday at Facebook's Menlo Park, California, headquarters.
