NALEO Convenes Latino Elected Officials in Nation’s Capital to Focus on the State of Latino Education

The National Association of Latino Elected and Appointed Officials (NALEO) Educational Fund, the leading organization that empowers Latinos to participate fully in the American political process, will convene Latino state legislators, municipal officials, and school board members from across the United Stated in a three day meeting to address the current state of education for Latino students from preschool to graduate school (P-20). The summit will enhance the working knowledge of elected officials on the state of Latino education by engaging them in a cross-jurisdictional dialogue pertaining to No Child Left Behind (NCLB), higher education access, English-language learners, curriculum alignment, and high school retention and attrition — all critical to closing the education gap among Latino students. Participants include elected officials from AZ, CA, IL, MD, MI, MN, NH, NM, NY, OK, RI, and TX.
