City of Knoxville Mayor Madeline Rogero and Knox County Mayor Tim Burchett jointly proclaimed American Education Week, November 18-22, in our community.
Representatives from many agencies receiving education-related grants from United Way of Greater Knoxville joined School Superintendent Jim McIntyre and School Board Chair Lynne Fugate for the presentation.
This year United Way of Greater Knoxville is investing more than $1.8 million in programs that complement the goals of Knox County Schools.
The mix and balance of funding is determined by volunteers, upholding the United Way tenet of funding through a thorough citizens' review process.
