Video: At-Risk Task Force Formed

New task force focusing on children will have a summit this September.

All children are at risk, according to Dorchester School District Two Superintendent Joe Pye.

The failing student is at risk, and the child in poverty is at risk. And, likewise, the A-student is at risk and the child in comfort is at risk.

During the school board meeting Aug. 8, Louis Smith addressed the audience on a new community initiative.
