De La Hoya to fund schools
Professional boxer Oscar De La Hoya has agreed to donate $3.5 million to help fund a school named after him, as well as several other campuses, Green Dot Public Schools announced Wednesday.
Green Dot is building the Oscar De La Hoya Animo Charter High School near downtown. It is scheduled to be completed next year. The gift is the fifth-largest that the organization has received.
