Does the Office of Urban Literacy only work in low performing districts and schools?
No. Early Literacy requirements are built into the administrative code and every Abbott district must follow the mandates for full implementation of Early Literacy. While the Office of Urban Literacy concentrates its efforts on those districts and schools with LPD/LPS designation, personnel also provide technical assistance and professional development to every Abbott district through state level conferences and workshops and district and school visits. Any Abbott district may request an LAT review.
