The Academy Plan
The document discusses strategies to end generational poverty through education, highlighting the systemic limitations faced by black and Latino communities and the negative culture that contributes to ongoing failure in education. It outlines significant education statistics from Lee County, FL, including high failure rates among free lunch students, and advocates for proven methods from successful programs like the Harlem Children's Zone. The proposed goals include fostering academic excellence, collecting data for funding, and expanding programs to serve more students effectively.
