AKRON, Ohio – He helped bring an NBA Championship to Northeast Ohio but some would argue it’s what LeBron James does off the court that has made an even bigger impact on the area.

His family foundation is already helping send kids to college and get students excited about learning.

But Akron Public Schools just announced a new initiative that will expand learning programs in the district.

We’ve heard of LeBron’s I Promise program that helps pay for college for more than a thousand kids.

And his Wheels For Education initiative sends a group of third graders to a two-week technology camp each year.
