Businessman donates $1 million to Seattle Public Schools

Seattle's public schools have received another boost from the business community, this time

a $1 million gift from Kirkland businessman Kirby Cramer and his wife, Ellery

. The couple is following in the footsteps of Kirby Cramer's longtime business partner, Don Nielsen, who along with his wife, Melissa, gave the schools $1 million shortly before the death of then-Superintendent John Stanford. Nielsen is president of the Seattle School Board.
