Newtown support fund distributes $4 million to 40 families

$4 million of the $11 million donated to the Sandy Hook School Support Fund is being distributed to 40 families most closely impacted by the shooting. 

 

The Newtown-Sandy Hook Community Foundation will make the payments to the families of the 26 victims, of 12 surviving children from the two classrooms, and the families of two people injured that day.  Foundation Board Member Attorney Ann Ragusa says these families could receive other monies in the future.

 

Officials overseeing the fund have faced criticism over the pace of their work from people, including a daughter of Principal Dawn Hochsprung.

 

Ragusa says immediate needs of first responders and school personnel are currently being considered.
