School leaders called it a 'generationally impactful gift,' but a year later, there are questions about the status of a $10 million donation to Aurora Public Schools.
– School leaders called it a “generationally impactful gift,” but a year later, the status of a $10 million donation to Aurora Public Schools appears up in the air. That money was all earmarked for a new, state-of-the-art athletic complex at Aurora Central High School, a project that’s now stalled.
A year later, the district tells CBS4 it’s received no funds from the organization, and the project is on hold. We asked Richins why, and he blamed a handful of factors. “It’s a gift that we’re giving to the district, and it’s got to be right for us at the right time,” Richins said. Communication appeared to slow down after an exchange between Richins and Superintendent Rico Munn in December. In a letter to Richins, Munn asked for an update on the timing of the donation and said APS would not commence with any construction until the funds are received.
Why is Richins, a teacher in Idaho, heading a multi-million-dollar project in Aurora? While Richins said his donors have connections in the community, CBS4 learned it may come down to baseball coach Mike Wing.
