In 2016, Mark Zuckerberg’s wife Priscilla Chan founded a school that was designed to be different; 10 years later and after $125 million funding, Board voted to close it

The Primary School, a tuition-free institution for low-income families, has closed its doors after a decade. Funding from the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative ceased, prompting the board’s unanimous decision to shut down. While offering extensive support services, the school’s academic results did not meet state benchmarks. The Chan Zuckerberg Initiative is providing financial support for the transition and educational savings accounts.
