A $1 million investment in education in Orlando's West Lakes community is helping pay for school supplies for teachers, and helping to develop a STEM garden where students can learn about agricultural science. 

The five year initiative is jointly funded by the College Football Playoff Foundation and Florida Citrus Sports.

We talk to Britton Banowsky, executive director of the College Football Playoff Foundation about how the initiative aims to help attract and retain teachers.
