Cavaliers Star LeBron James to Team With Akron Public Schools to Build a New Public School

LeBron James and the Cavs might be struggling as they get set for the postseason, but that’s not stopping the Cavaliers star from helping out his hometown of Akron and kids in the community.

USA Today reports that James has decided on his next charity project, and it will be teaming with Akron Public Schools to create a new public school, which will be called the ‘I Promise School.’

Here’s what the report on James had to say:

The school will educate students like those who are part of James’ foundation: “Students who are at-risk in reading and who are in need of additional academic intervention before falling further behind their peers,” according to the news release.
