The Wall Street Journal featured alumna Stacey Boyd ’91 on Dec. 3 in an article titled “Fundraising + Daily Deals = Business Inspiration” that focused on her new platform for school funding. Boyd created a website, Schoola, that provides a vehicle for local businesses to offer coupons and share a percentage of the profits with local schools.
Since the founding of Schoola and a related endeavor that enables schools to collect donated clothes for additional funding, 15 percent of all U.S. schools have established Schoola pages and 3,000 schools are participating in the donated clothing program. Boyd is a former teacher and principal in San Francisco.
