Attleboro Public Schools Receive Plethora of Donations

Over $53,000 worth of donations will need to be accepted by the Attleboro City Council.

Attleboro Public Schools have seen a flurry of donations lately.

A measure was sent to the city's Property and Claims Committee last week to accept donations to Attleboro's schools that added up to over $53,000.

The committee, headed by James DiLisio, will likely discuss the donations at committee meetings Tuesday night and the City Council will likely vote on whether or not to accept the donations next month.

Attleboro's Sensata Technologies was among the biggest donors, donating 16 Dell laptops, 44 precision laptops, 24 laptop charging carts and four Ipads.

The Attleboro Blue Pride Gridiron Club donated weight training and flooring equipment in the amount of $32,500.
