Saddened students who felt their 80-year-old school janitor shouldn't still have to work begun fundraising so he could retire - and soon raked in more than £200,000.
The worker, referred to only as Mr James, can now hang up his screwdriver and mop at Callisburg High School, Texas.
Three pupils set up a GoFundMe page to raise money for the new handyman and were stunned by the response.
