Litigating Literacy

Making sure all kids can read.

Every month, school boards show us exactly what they prioritize.
They love to recognize a student’s success.

But when it comes to the children who were never taught to read proficiently, there is silence.

No clear answers.
No ownership.
No accountability.
Definitely no apology.

The problem isn’t that schools don’t see it.
It’s that they treat it like it can wait.
