INDIANAPOLIS – Superintendent of Public Instruction Glenda Ritz rolled out two veterans announcements Monday – a new literacy partnership with the Indiana National Guard and an incentive program designed to attract veterans to Indiana classrooms.

The first – Boots for Books – will give Indiana National Guard soldiers the opportunity to work with students in 30 schools and 30 after-school programs across Indiana to ensure students are reading by third grade.

“In our efforts to build a culture of readers in Indiana through our Hoosier Family of Readers initiative, the Indiana National Guard has joined over 263 literacy partners to build a culture of readers in Indiana,” Ritz said.

Ritz had planned stops in Fort Wayne and South Bend on Monday.
