Intel Co-Founder Helps Fund Silicon Valley Charter School

The technology legend and his wife Betty Moore donated $250,000 to the school's foundation, charter-school supporters announced Saturday during a casino-night fundraiser held at the Fremont Hills Country Club.

Gordon Moore, who is famous for predicting that a computer chip's power would double every two years, stated in the charter-school foundation's press release that ``Betty and I feel very strongly that competition in educational opportunities results in innovation and significant improvements for all participants.''
