Presentation to Superintendent
Editor's Note: Devon and Javonte speak with their school's Superintendent, Chad Ferguson, and with the DCPS Manager of Library and Media Services, Pat Brown, about why their school does not have a library. The students presented their photographs and writing to advocate for funding from central office to support their campaign to create a new, student-designed library. At the end of the meeting, Superintendent Ferguson committed to providing more than $2,000 from the Office of Youth Engagement to support the students' campaign. Eventually the school received almost $20,000 from DCPS in support of the students' vision for a library.
