The Chicago Tribune (4/6, Pevtzow) reports, "DonorsChoose.org is a window into Chicagoland classrooms still squeezed by the economy" featuring postings by teachers telling "of school libraries stocked with torn and outdated books and kindergarten classes with too many pupils to fit on the rug at once for circle time. ... Started in 2001 by a Bronx high school teacher, DonorsChoose.org is open to every public school in the United States, and about one out of every three schools has a teacher who has posted a request," for a donation, "representatives at the website said. There are 15,000 to 20,000 projects seeking funding at any one time, said Abigail Feuer, spokeswoman for DonorsChoose.org."
