WHITE HOUSE BEGINS "COMMUNITY CONVERSATIONS" WITH HISPANIC AMERICANS

 


U.S. Secretary of Education Arne Duncan today announced that Juan Sepulveda, Director of the White House Initiative on Educational Excellence for Hispanic Americans, is beginning a series of community conversations next week in Texas. Sepulveda has contacted Hispanic communities nationwide and will continue to do so, as he begins this series with trips to several states and Puerto Rico between July and the end of September.
 
The White House Initiative on Educational Excellence for Hispanic Americans was created by Executive Order on September 24, 1990 to improve Federal efforts to promote quality education for Hispanic Americans. Sepulveda is visiting Hispanic communities to gain input prior to updating the Executive Order later this year.
 
“Education is no longer just a pathway to opportunity and success, it is a prerequisite for success. We need to hear from and meet the needs of all students of all ages and eliminate the gaps in achievement between children of different backgrounds,” said U.S. Secretary of Education
Arne Duncan. “My hope is that Juan Sepulveda helps us connect more closely to the Hispanic community and understand the challenges families face, so we are better able to provide clear paths to college and careers.”
 
Sepulveda will travel to Laredo, San Antonio, Brownsville, Austin, El Paso, and Houston next week, before visiting Chicago later this month. These trips will include visits with community leaders, elected officials, and educators. He will also host town hall-style “Community Conversations” to gain public input on the status of Hispanic education. The following is the schedule of next week’s Community Conversations:
