A mom movement to help schools fill funding gaps is booming – in a big way

Former school principal Stacey Boyd founded Schoola as a fix for devastating school budget cuts. Parents collect gently used clothing and Schoola sells the items online with money going right back to the schools from where the items were collected. Cleaning out closets and going green = cash for schools. Today, the company has partnered with more than 9,000 schools across the country and has already helped raise hundreds of thousands of dollars! The stories are remarkable – one school in the Bronx has just raised over $22k for needed music supplies.
