Hispanic CREO Partners with the Program on Education Policy and Governance at Harvard University
This First Annual Education Policy & Parental Choice Latino Democrat Elected Officials Seminar will convene Latino Democratic state and local legislators from across the country to discuss the state of education for Latino students.
Invited participants will engage in enriching dialogue with experts in the school choice movement, as well as understand and evaluate data and statistics that give purpose to our mission: To improve educational outcomes for Hispanic children by empowering families through parental choice in education.
Sponsored by: Democrats for Education Reform, William E. Simon Foundation, Alliance for School Choice, The Friedman Foundation.
OVERVIEW OF SEMINAR – What the Seminar is about
This first meeting will seek to engage in a dialog with the legislators about the political and financial implication of supporting parental choice. Hispanic CREO wants to provide participants with information, research and nationwide efforts on parental choice.
Over a two-day period, the legislators will:
• Learn more about education reform movements – charter, voucher and tax credit;
• Be briefed on the latest research and its impact for Latinos;
• Gain information on the bipartisan efforts of the parental choice movement;
• Hear and understand case studies from their respective states; Explore the reasons for growing the parental movement toward choice; and
• Be empowered to make more informed decisions, as parental choice becomes a topic in their state.
Ultimately, the goal will be to dispel the myths surrounding parental choice, so that legislators will be able to make more informed decisions, as parental choice becomes a topic in their state.
