With only 13% of Black children reading on grade level our city schools are in a crisis. The results of this decades-long crisis can be seen in the poverty, violence, homelessness, and incarceration rates of our city. Children who struggle to read struggle to succeed. They have less opportunities for employment and college and so are more attractive candidates for crime and violence. We have known this for decades but have become hopeless that this will actually ever change. The committees below represent people who are intolerant of the status quo, and know, and believe deeply that our children are capable of greatness. We need spirited young people, active parents, strong teachers, committed community members, caring businesses, generous donors, and competent and loving leaders.
Let us know which committees you are interested in working on and we will email you with the next meeting dates and times. Most meetings are via zoom. When you get the email, mark your calendars, bring one friend, and let’s get to work.
