SignOnSanDiego.com > News > Education -- Benefactors to schools reassess as Bersin exits: "Several philanthropic organizations that have poured millions of dollars into San Diego schools are reassessing their gifts in light of Superintendent Alan Bersin's departure and uncertainty over where the district is headed.

More than $53 million in private grants has gone to the district over the past five years, making San Diego Unified one of the largest recipients of educational philanthropy in the nation.

Much of the money arrived after Bersin wooed funders and won their support for his Blueprint for Student Success, a back-to-basics education plan that emphasizes teacher training."
