Good for him, and for the school system.
It is always nice to see large donations that have both direction and domestic consequences. The US could stand to have more of this happen during this shitty recession.

Do charitable donations received get taxed? Meaning how much of that $100M will the school receive?
If I was super-rich, I'd make all my charitable donations under the table. I'd hate the fact that my intended recipients are only receiving a portion of the money I donated.

I'm fairly certain that they are taxed, especially one in the hundred million dollar range. Do you really think the gov'd pass up a chunk of that change, even though it's almost meaningless considering that they just print more money anyhow?

Yea that's what I figured.
I know you get a huge tax-writeoff for charitable donations, but all the same I think I'd try to find ways to minimize the amount that my donations got taxed. Hell, I'd rather hand each student in the school district 50 grand in a sack with a dollar sign on it than let the government take 50% of the money I tried to use for a good deed.

I wish all my pay checks came in Dollar Sign Sacks. It would make me so happy.

Good for him. I also don't think it's really a PR move; from what I understand, the movie is largely fictitious and pretty much entertainment-only.

As are most "Based on A True Story/Events" Movies.

I'm not sure this one even purports to be that true. I heard that pretty much everything but the names and Facebook itself is made up.
Just hearsay, but eh.
