Pre-K Data, Dolly Parton Imagination Library Partnership
Mrs. Pamela Criss, the Coordinator of Early Childhood and School Readiness, presented data to the Board of Education about the academic growth of students in our Pre-K program.
In addition, State Senator Clarke Tucker presented on the Dolly Parton Imagination Library and its benefits to promote a culture of reading among children in underserved communities.
