SUMMARY:Is Reading A Civil Right?
DESCRIPTION:More than half of third- through eighth-grade students who attend public schools in the city of Fort Worth did not meet grade level for reading on state accountability tests in 2024*. In the Fort Worth ISD alone\, only 33 percent of third-graders scored at grade level in reading**.\n\nSome argue that such statistics represent not only a failure in education but a failure to meet basic civil rights. Join us for a keynote address and panel discussion on an issue that is critical to the future of our community. See you there!\n\n* Source: Fort Worth Education Partnership annual report.\n\n**Source: Fort Worth Star-Telegram reporting on state testing.
