The Signal - Santa Clarita Valley News - Literacy program’s future uncertain


The Signal - Santa Clarita Valley News - Literacy program’s future uncertain:

"Alma Vega wants to create a better future for her two children, ages 2 and 1.

The 17-year-old is struggling to learn English and how to take care of her children. That led her to the Newhall School District's Even Start program earlier this year, where she has been able to learn and befriend other families who face similar struggles.

'I feel comfortable here,' she said. 'I don't feel alone.'"
