Next time, visit the archives and not the Mayor's spokesman
In this Matt Stiles and Kristen Mack story previewing Mayor White's next term, there is an odd paragraph toward the end:
This summer White, along with Houston Independent School District officials, went door to door asking ninth-graders to commit to stay in school and graduate.
What in the world are they talking about?
Okay, I will assume they mean HISD's Reach out to Dropouts Day effort, in which Mayor White participated, but it was geared toward kids who had already dropped out -- and not ninth-graders only. Also, it was not just Mayor White and some HISD officials -- it was HISD officials, 1,300 volunteers, and Mayor White.
While I am sure Dr. Saavedra appreciated Mayor White's taking the time to participate, the program was started by HISD two years ago and expanded this past year.
