Why turn down a $25 million school donation when Danbury students need so much help?

I have lived in Danbury for two years and am excited to raise my kids here. My family moved here from the Bronx in New York City because we needed a better life where the schools are in touch with students and we don’t have to pay as much in taxes. My family has loved living in Danbury and my children have loved their teachers.
As more families like mine have moved to Danbury, our schools have gotten more crowded and teachers haven’t been able to pay as much attention to individual students. Then COVID-19 came and our schools couldn’t host in-person classes for months and many families like mine in Danbury, who cannot afford tutors or additional educational opportunities, felt their children slip behind in schools.
