I did let Donorschoose know what happened and now that I am no longer in that district I wanted to go ahead and fill out this impact area in hopes that the wonderful donors who supported us will still see it and understand it was through no fault of my students or myself that I wasn't able to uphold our end of the process. I still don't know who got our items or what they did with them but I'm hoping that the students still benefitted in some way. That district has caused a lot of teachers to leave Donorschoose, I chose to pause until I could join a new district which I have done.
