The Brentwood Union School District received a $50k donation via the Fremont Bank Foundation this week.
According to the District, this year students will have the opportunity to explore additional educational experiences, thanks to Fremont Bank Foundation. There are approximately 10,000 students in the Brentwood Union School District and students in grades 2 through 8 are provided with a Chromebook by the district.
“The learning opportunities for students have been tremendous,” said Dana Eaton, Ed.D., Superintendent, Brentwood Union School District. “Access to the Chromebooks has expanded computer science offerings district-wide, and now we see students coding at much younger ages.”
Since the Chromebooks are so well used, the wear and tear on the devices has increased, and the district struggled to keep up with the cost of replacing the devices. Fremont Bank Foundation’s $50,000 donation allowed the district to purchase 150 Chromebooks.
“Many Brentwood Union School District’s parents and guardians bank at our Brentwood branch, so helping out the students in this unique way was a natural fit for our Foundation,” said Deborah Willis, Senior Branch Manager in Brentwood. “Students learn through all different pathways, and the Chromebooks offer scenarios for greater adventure through education.”
