Executive Order 13230: President's Advisory Commission on Educational Excellence for Hispanic Americans was a presidential executive order issued by President George W. Bush (R) in October 2001 that established the President's Advisory Commission on Educational Excellence for Hispanic Americans within the U.S. Department of Education. The order broadly aimed to "advance the development of human potential, strengthen the Nation's capacity to provide high-quality education, and increase opportunities for Hispanic Americans to participate in and benefit from Federal education programs," according to the text.[1]

The President's Advisory Commission on Educational Excellence for Hispanic Americans was terminated after submitting its final report to President George W. Bush and the U.S. secretary of education on March 31, 2003.[2]

Background

See also: No Child Left Behind Act

President George W. Bush signed the No Child Left Behind Act (NCBLA) into law in 2001. At the time, public concern about the efficacy of public education in America had increased due in part to reports indicating a decline in the global academic performance of American students, according to the Education Commission for the States. The NCLBA, in response, aimed to support standards-based education reform drawn from the philosophy that setting high standards and establishing measurable goals for schools would improve individual outcomes for public school students. The legislation mandated that states develop standardized tests and administer assessments to all students at certain grade levels in order to receive federal funding. Each state was responsible for establishing its own standards.[3]

The Bush administration also issued E.O. 13230 on October 17, 2001, in response to growing public concern over the academic achievement gap of Hispanic American students. This executive order established the President's Advisory Commission on Educational Excellence for Hispanic Americans within the U.S. Department of Education. The commission's duty was to provide advice to the U.S. secretary of education and submit reports to the president to "increase opportunities for Hispanic Americans to participate in and benefit from Federal education programs," according to the text.[1]

Creation and composition of the advisory commission

The other four members were ex officio members, with one each being from the [[U.S. Department of Education, the Department of Housing and Urban Development, the Department of the Treasury, and the Small Business Administration. The president designated two members of the commission to be co-chairs.[1]

“ The Initiative shall provide the necessary staff, resources, and assistance to the Commission and shall assist and advise the Secretary in carrying out his responsibilities under this order. The staff of the Initiative shall gather and disseminate information relating to the educational achievement gap of Hispanic Americans, using a variety of means, including conducting surveys, conferences, field hearings, and meetings, and other appropriate vehicles designed to encourage the participation of organizations and individuals interested in such issues, including parents, community leaders, academicians, business leaders, teachers, employers, employees and public officials at the local, State, and Federal levels. To the extent permitted by law, executive branch departments and agencies shall cooperate in providing resources, including personnel detailed to the Initiative, to meet the objectives of this order. The Initiative shall include both career civil service and appointed staff with expertise in the area of education.[1][4] ”
