The Readiness to Learn Program is vibrant and growing.  This unique program is a partnership between parents, schools and the community.  By working together we provide the support to help struggling children & youth succeed in school. Support includes tutoring, counseling, and referrals to other community services. All of the RTL services are aimed at providing an atmosphere where students can focus on increasing their test scores and bring up their grades. In the past year, 75 students and their families were served with 85% showing significant improvement in school performance. 376-2284
