Literacy Commission approves minutes, staff to submit preliminary recommendations to County Council by Sept. 30

The commission approved the minutes from its July 15, 2026 meeting by unanimous consent after Chair Dr. Felton Moss called for corrections and none were offered.

Staff outlined the commission's schedule under its enabling resolution and required deadlines: "So by September 30, we are to submit preliminary recommendations to the County Council," staff said, and final recommendations were scheduled for submission by Dec. 15 with commission deliberation and a vote to follow in the fall meetings.

Staff said they will synthesize today's presentations, member comments and any additional written notes submitted by commissioners into the preliminary package and circulate it in advance of the Sept. 30 submission. Commission members were invited to send any recommendations outside today's presentations so staff can include them in the comprehensive report.
