President Obama Recognizes the Work of CIS
It was my great pleasure to represent you at a gathering of national education leaders with President Barack Obama at a White House event this morning. While I was quite pleased to hear the President’s commitment to reducing the dropout rate and to helping young people graduate from high school prepared for success-as evidenced by his plan to provide $3.5 billion to improve under-performing schools and $900 million in school Turnaround Grants-I was especially gratified to hear him recognize the work of Communities In Schools by name.
