Sep, 2000 Addressing the educational needs of the fastest growing community in the United States—the Hispanic community—is vital to our national interest. In September 2000, the President’s Advisory Commission and the staff of the White House Initiative on Educational Excellence for Hispanic Americans presented a targeted plan of action that addresses early childhood through graduate and professional education.
