FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE!

CABINET EXIT MEMO

Yesterday, Secretary King issued his Cabinet exit memorandum, titled “Giving Every Student a Fair Shot: Progress under the Obama Administration’s Education Agenda.” “I would like to share with you the great progress our nation has made in spurring systemic reform and promoting innovation across America’s education system -- from preschool through college -- over the last eight years, and highlight critical areas where we must build on promising practices and success,” he notes. “President Obama came into office with a strong vision for improving education to advance all students’ opportunity and success. Elements of that vision included expanding access to quality preschool, raising graduation rates, and taking actions to help all students achieve to high standards. It also included promoting quality instruction; measuring student achievement so schools and families would know if students were succeeding; supporting great educators, especially for our highest-needs students; improving students’ access to technologies that can personalize learning; and increasing college accessibility, affordability, and completion. I am proud to say that the country has made significant progress toward that vision.” The memo goes on to outline notable progress and offers a “roadmap” to sustain and accelerate progress.

NOTE: Although Dr. King is leaving USDE, WE ARE KEEPERS OF THE DREAM. WE WILL STILL BE CONNECTED TO HIM! STAY ON YOUR POST AND WATCH.
