The Coeur d'Alene Tribe donated $210,000 in gaming revenues to a public school district in Idaho.
The money went to the Plummer/Worley school district. Since 1993, the district has received $3,105,500 in gaming revenues.
“The Plummer Worley School District is grateful for the financial donation from the Coeur d’Alene Tribe and the priority they have given over many years to their local school district," superintendent
Judi Sharrett told The St. Maries Gazette Record.
"We recognize they are not obligated to any one district or educational institution in their distribution.”
The tribe is required to contribute 5 percent of net gaming profits to schools on or near the reservation. But the Gazette Record said some school districts haven't received money since July 2009.
