Detroit school gets $80,000 new computer lab
Celebrity guest Tom Arnold and AOL representatives made the announcements of an $80,000 donation to Hutchins Middle School for a new computer lab.
Excerpts from the article:
A parent called the man in charge of technology for Detroit Public Schools in January to ask when a long-promised computer lab at the school would open. On the same day, America Online called to offer to equip a computer lab.
Tom Arnold — comedian and host of “The Best Damn Sports Show Period” — and AOL representatives appeared during an assembly at the school, where the company announced a donation of $80,000 in computer equipment.
The lab, which opens Friday, includes 30 computers equipped with the latest software, two laser printers, a projector, a plasma television and workstations for each of the computers. AOL also paid a portion of the cost to refurbish the room for use as a lab.
