Three out of four students in San Benito County schools are not meeting English language arts standards. To help address this, local education officials are holding a literacy summit on Thursday, Jan. 25 to unpack the challenges, the solutions being explored locally, and how others can help.
Recognized for closing the achievement gap, Navigator Schools will join forces with local leaders in the San Benito County of Education Literacy Summit: Unlocking a Reader’s Journey.
