LinkLinksOpinion Karen Gardner in The Post: D.C. missed a deadline. And our students will pay the price. By Editor On May 3, 2019 Last updated May 3, 2019 29 Share Earlier this year, the District government missed a deadline to reapply for federal AmeriCorps funding, leaving $3.5 million requested by the nonprofits Reading Partners, Literacy Lab and City Year in jeopardy. When this error came to light, The Washington Post reported that money was slated to be used in the next school year to fund 147 AmeriCorps slots: 57 tutors through Reading Partners and Literacy Lab and 190 team members at City Year. These essential team members serve as tutors and mentors to D.C. students and help manage classrooms in under-resourced schools.
