Houston ISD and community partners held a press conference at Garcia Elementary and issued a call for 1,500 volunteers to join HISD's Read Houston Read program, to mentor first-graders at more than 50 selected elementary schools as part of the districts Literacy By 3 movement. '“All along, as we devised our master plan to attack this literacy crisis, we have said that this is not a problem that will be solved in the classroom or the school alone,” said Superintendent Terry Grier at the news conference at Garcia Elementary, one of the participating schools. “It is a community crisis, and the community’s help is needed to solve it. This is a very important — if not themost important — district initiative since I’ve been here.”
