“At a lot of meetings I go to in the community, public safety is the number one issue and then economic development. Early education, which includes early literacy, is certainly not a silver bullet, but it’s a strategic point of intervention…. We must start to redefine education. Education takes place on a 24/7 basis, and everyone has an obligation to participate in the education of all citizens.”
