Cid Wilson attended yesterday’s signing ceremony where President Barack Obama will sign a revised executive order on The White House Initiative on Educational Excellence for Hispanics in the East Room of The White House.
To reach the ambitious education goals President Obama has set for our nation and ensure America’s future competitiveness in a global economy, we must raise Hispanic education attainment at every level. The revised executive order will place a high priority on action designed to do exactly that. The White House Initiative was established in September 1990 to provide advice and guidance to the Secretary of Education on education issues related to Latinos and address academic excellence and opportunities for the Latino community. It was subsequently continued by President William J. Clinton and President George W. Bush. New elements of the executive order will place a high priority on action.
