MICUA Matters
Spring 2010
On March 2, John Hopkins University President Ronald Daniels and Baltimore City Public Schools Chief Executive Officer Andrés Alonso announced a new program offering University staff up to two days per year of paid leave to pursue service opportunities in the Baltimore City public schools. Through the “Johns Hopkins Takes Time for Schools” program, University employees will share their time, talent, and dedication with Baltimore’s students, teachers, principals, and administrators. Service projects will include working directly with students, offering management and leadership support to administrators, and providing facilities and infrastructure improvements.
The program partners a world leader in health, education, and science with a public school system undergoing a period of growth and achievement. The announcement was part of a public service reading event at Barclay Elementary/Middle School, in which Daniels and Alonso read to students in conjunction with Read Across America Day.
