LOCAL COMMUNITY CAMPAIGN LAUNCHES
TO BOOST ACADEMIC ACHIEVEMENT

Initiative
WHO: The San Diego Union-Tribune, the United Way of San Diego County and
the San Diego County Office of Education are joining forces to launch a
large scale, unprecedented effort to help boost academic achievement of

WHAT: Research shows that engaging students while learning in school, and
connecting students with the resources they need outside of school, can
have a positive effect on educational success. How do we as a community
achieve success?

announcement and to see it in action.

€ Doug Sawyer, president and CEO of United Way of San Diego County
€ John Roach, Carlsbad Unified School District Superintendent (also
representing 41 San Diego County School District Superintendents)
€ Darin Curtis, 2011 California Teacher of the Year (Lakeside USD)
€ Other regional education experts
WHEN: Thursday, Sep. 15, 2011
