Unique Proposal To Raise Funding For Aspen Schools Draws Attention
ASPEN, Colo. (CBS4) - School board members in one of Colorado's wealthiest mountain towns are considering selling names rights to school building to help raise funds for the district.
The Aspen Education Foundation executive director Brooke Bedingfield told CBS4 the proposal would help with a budget crisis many districts across the state currently face.
Bedingfield told reporter Matt Kroschel people who give $1 million or more could have the opportunity to possibly name a building. Officials estimate the unique proposal could net upwards of $15 million for the district.
