Sponsored by Comerica Bank, the back-to-school event is designed to teach students about money management and financial literacy.

Among the program participants are Dwaine Caraway, Dallas Mayor Pro Tem; Carla Ranger
Dallas ISD Trustee, District 6; and Assistant Banking Center Manager for Comerica Bank, Dawna Alberty.

The fourth core belief adopted by the Dallas ISD Board of Trustees is "We believe that every student must be educated in a safe, welcoming, effective and innovative learning environment."
