Описание к видео American Graduate Champion - KC Mayor Sly James - Watch American Graduate Day Sept. 27 on KCPT

Spend enough time listening to Kansas City, Missouri, mayor Sly James, and you’ll hear him make this claim, as he has done so repeatedly: Education is the #1 economic development tool for any city.

“If we’re able to put up a sign on the streets and the roads that lead into the city that say ‘Best Education in the Country,’ economic development will easily follow in abundance,” he said during an interview in his office July 16.

James doesn’t just talk the talk about education improvements in KC, he also personally walks the walk: as part of efforts to encourage early childhood literacy rates, James reads to a different group of elementary schoolers each week.
