Mrs De Bonis explained to me that boys academic and literacy skills don't improve over the summer break therefore this program would only be offered to boys.

Nowhere in the change.org petition do they mention the library's finances. I was pointing out that throwing money at the library wouldn't solve the root problem raised specifically by this girl and her mother on the petition.

I guess it would depend on whether or not the boy's parent made a change.org petition and it went viral.
