LeBron James to Help Open Public School for At-Risk Kids in Akron

PHIL LONG/Associated Press

Cleveland Cavaliers star LeBron James will partner with Akron Public Schools in Akron, Ohio, to open a school designed to help at-risk children.

On Tuesday, the Associated Press (h/t ESPN.com) reported the "I Promise School" will open in 2018 for third and fourth graders and will expand to first through eighth grade by 2022.

This school is so important to me because our vision is to create a place for the kids in Akron who need it most—those that could fall through the cracks if we don't do something.
