The NALEO Educational Fund, the leading organization that facilitates full Latino participation in the American political process, announced today that U.S. Secretary of Education Margaret Spellings will be addressing Latino elected officials from across the country at the upcoming 2nd Annual National Summit on the State of Latino Education which will be held September 13-15 at the Hamilton Crowne Plaza Hotel in Washington, D.C.
NALEO will convene Latino state legislators, municipal officials, and school board members from across the United Stated at a three day meeting to address the current state of education for Latino students from preschool to graduate school (P-20).
The summit will enhance the working knowledge of elected officials on the state of Latino education by engaging them in a cross-jurisdictional dialogue pertaining to No Child Left Behind (NCLB), higher education access, English-language learners, curriculum alignment, and high school retention and attrition - all critical to closing the education gap among Latino students.

The NALEO Educational Fund is a national non-profit, non-partisan organization whose constituency includes the more than 6,000 Latino elected and appointed officials nationwide.
