Judge Helen Wallace will preside over the new program called the T.E.A.M. Initiative (Together Everyone Achieves More) to work with the community to ensure all children receive an education.
The goal of this program is to reduce the chronic absenteeism rate by giving support and assistance to parents and their children.
The full program details will be announced at a kick‐off at a later date, where all Montgomery County school superintendents will be invited to attend and are encouraged to participate.
