Dr. Walter Cooper Academy Fund

This fund benefits the Dr. Walter Cooper Academy, opened in 2009-2010 by the Rochester City School District. The school is named in honor of Dr. Walter Cooper, a former member of the New York State Board of Regents who has exhibited a lifetime commitment to educational excellence. Dr. Cooper, a retired Eastman Kodak scientist, was the founder of Action for a Better Community and the founder and president of the Rochester Urban League. Dr. Cooper also is a member of the REF Advisory Council.

The fund is used to advance opportunities for students at the school. Expenditures are determined by school officials working in cooperation with Dr. Cooper.
