Wareham Development announces $1 million commitment to Berkeley Public Schools

BERKELEY, Calif. - s4story -- Wareham Development announces $1 million commitment to Berkeley Public Schools to close the opportunity gap in STEM Education.
[Berkeley, CA]—Wareham Development (https://www.warehamdevelopment.com/) will make a $1 million donation over four years to the Berkeley Public Schools Fund to help close the opportunity gap in STEM education for Berkeley students. The Berkeley Unified School District and the Schools Fund will match Wareham's funding and is actively seeking additional private donations to help meet this match.
I believe this is a partnership that can be a model for other California school districts — leveraging Career Technical Education and summer and "extended day" State funding to close the opportunity gap in STEM learning and supercharge post-pandemic learning with support from private sector funds. —Rich Robbins, Wareham Development
The funds will be invested in STEM opportunities "outside of the school day" for Kindergarten through 12th grade students. The package of programs, free to BUSD families, includes:
"The partnership with Wareham is truly an example of our mission into action— to inspire our diverse student body to achieve academic excellence and make positive contributions to our world," says BUSD Superintendent Enikia Ford Morthel.
