Read more: www.thecypresstimes.com/article/SchoolsThe idea behind the Reading Express began with the awarding of a $5,000 grant by the Klein Education Foundation to librarians at five Title I schools. As work on the project began, the foundation increased its support to a total of $25,000. Some of those funds come from donations made in memory of Ms. Debra Macomb, a former educator who lived in Klein and who was also a supporter of the Klein Education Foundation. Ms. Macomb passed away in May of 2009.
