Executive Order 13555: White House Initiative On Educational Excellence For Hispanics was a presidential executive order issued by President Barack Obama (D) in October 2010 that renewed the White House Initiative on Educational Excellence for Hispanics and established the President's Advisory Commission on Educational Excellence for Hispanics within the department of education.[1]

Background

President Barack Obama (D) issued Executive Order 13555, titled "White House Initiative On Educational Excellence For Hispanics" on October 19, 2010. E.O. 13555 renewed the White House Initiative on Educational Excellence for Hispanics. The executive order sought to "strengthen the Nation by expanding educational opportunities and improving educational outcomes for Hispanics and Latinos (Hispanics) of all ages" and stated that "Hispanic students are the largest minority group in our Nation's schools, numbering more than 11 million in our public elementary and secondary school system, and constituting more than 22 percent of all pre-K–12 students. Hispanic students face educational challenges of crisis proportions."[1]

Executive Order 12729, issued by President George H.W. Bush (R) on September 24, 1990, established the first President's advisory Commission on Educational Excellence for Hispanics and the White House Initiative on Educational Excellence for Hispanics. The goal of E.O. 12729 was to "provide advice to the Secretary of Education on the progress of Hispanic Americans toward achievement of national education goals and on such other aspects of the educational status of Hispanic Americans as it consider[ed] appropriate."[2]

Executive Order 12900, issued by President Bill Clinton (D) on February 18, 1994, reestablished the Commission on Educational Excellence for Hispanics.[3]

Executive Order 13230, issued by President George W. Bush (R) on October 21, 2001, extended the Commission on Educational Excellence for Hispanics and updated the commission's role by including the dispensation of advice to the secretary of education concerning "closing the academic achievement gap and attaining the goals established by the President’s 'No Child Left Behind' educational blueprint."[4]

Policy

Section 1 of E.O. 13230 stated that the policy of the executive order was to "provide the opportunities that will enable Hispanic students to raise their educational attainment at every level of the American education system." It stated that "Our country was built on and continues to thrive on its diversity, and there is no doubt that the future of the United States is inextricably linked to the future of the Hispanic community."[1]

White House Initiative on Educational Excellence for Hispanics

Section 2 of E.O. 13555 established the White House Initiative on Educational Excellence for Hispanics within the department of education. It stated that the mission of the commission was to "help restore the United States to its role as the global leader in education and to strengthen the Nation by expanding educational opportunities and improving educational outcomes for Hispanics of all ages and by helping to ensure that all Hispanics receive a complete and competitive education that prepares them for college, a career, and productive and satisfying lives."[1]

Section 2 of E.O. 13555 stated that the initiative objectives were to "expand educational opportunities, improve education outcomes, and deliver a complete and competitive education for all Hispanics." In order to fulfill those objectives, E.O. 13555 proposed the following seven objectives:

  • "[E]nsuring that all Hispanic students have access to excellent teachers and school leaders, in part by supporting efforts to improve the recruitment, preparation, development, and retention of successful Hispanic teachers and school leaders and other effective teachers and school leaders responsible for the education of Hispanic students"
  • "[R]educing the dropout rate of Hispanic students and helping Hispanic students graduate from high school prepared for college and a career, in part by promoting a positive school climate and supporting successful and innovative dropout prevention and recovery strategies that better engage Hispanic youths in their learning, help them catch up academically, and provide those who have left the educational system with pathways to reentry"
  • "[I]ncreasing college access and success for Hispanic students and providing support to help ensure that a greater percentage of Hispanics complete college and contribute to the goal of having America again lead the world in the proportion of college graduates by 2020, in part through strategies to strengthen the capacity of Hispanic-Serving Institutions, community colleges, and other institutions of higher education serving large numbers of Hispanic students"
  • "[E]nhancing the educational and life opportunities of Hispanics by fostering positive family and community engagement, improving the quality of, and expanding access to, adult education, literacy, and career and technical education, as well as increasing opportunities for education and career advancement in the fields of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics."

In order to fulfill those objectives, E.O. 13555 stated that the initiative shall fulfill seven goals:

  • "[W]ork closely with the Executive Office of the President on key Administration priorities related to the education of Hispanics"

  • "[D]evelop a national network of individuals, organizations, and communities to share and implement best practices related to the education of Hispanics."
