With its third-graders posting the worst reading scores in the state over several recent years, the city is embarking on a campaign to enlist help from parents and community volunteers.
Various youth advocacy organizations have put together $325,000 for the effort, and the state Department of Education is putting up another $150,000, educators and community leaders said Tuesday at a ceremony to promote the campaign.
"Our kids' lives are at stake, our futures are at stake," schools Superintendent Doris Kurtz told an audience of about 60 at the public library. "This truly cannot be done by the school system alone."
