RESOLUTION 7: Educational Options "Summits"

WHEREAS THE LEAGUE OF UNITED LATIN AMERICAN CITIZENS (LULAC) supports the purpose of fostering and enlarging the opportunities for training, education, civil rights, job opportunities, housing, economic development, and welfare of all Hispanics in the United States; and,

WHEREAS, LULAC can provide an unbiased forum for discussion of issues of importance to the Hispanic community, and;

WHEREAS, LULAC is charged through its Constitution and Bylaws with the responsibility of "constant vigilance of administrative and instructional practices in schools which deprive persons of educational opportunities";

THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the 1998 National Assembly convened in Dallas, Texas on the 4th day of July, 1998, sponsor "Parental Education Summits" to specifically solicit and evaluate the testimony of parents whose children are enrolled in non-performing primary and secondary schools and that LULAC educate these parents on any and all options available to them so as to avoid the continued enrollment of their children in these non-performing schools, with the goal that their children will benefit from the best educational resources in their local communities.

Approved this 4th day of July, 1998.

Rick Dovalina
LULAC National President
