San Patricio County Commissioners Proclaim September 2025 Adult Literacy Awareness Month

The San Patricio County Commissioners Court convened on September 2, 2025, to address several key issues, with a significant focus on adult literacy in the community. The court considered a request from Christina Jolley of the San Patricio County Adult Literacy Council to proclaim September 2025 as Adult Literacy Awareness Month.
