Mayo Clinic's $10M Donation Saves Rochester Public Schools from Closure and Controversial Redistricting

Mayo Clinic is donating $10 million to Rochester Public Schools to support the implementation of their strategic plan for "academic transformation." The donation will enable the school system to make important changes to their attendance redesign proposal, including keeping certain schools open, adjusting attendance boundaries, and expanding programs. The revised proposal will be presented at a school board meeting in January 2024. The donation from Mayo Clinic will help maintain the district's academic momentum and serve as a bridge to achieving greater financial sustainability.
