The Committee on Education
Chairperson- Ms. Sandra Schaal
The Committee on Education seeks to: (1) eliminate segregation and other discriminatory practices in public education; (2) study local educational conditions affecting minority groups; (3) investigate the public school system and school zoning; (4) familiarize itself with textbook material that is racially derogatory; (5) seek to stimulate school attendance; (6) keep informed of school conditions and strive to correct abuses where found; (7) investigate the effects of standardized and high stakes testing practices; (8) promote effective teacher certification; (9) promote parental involvement in education; and (10) aim to be a center of community education on issues affecting minority communities and on the work of the Association.
We must continue the fight to eliminate the severe racial inequities that continue to plague our education system. Too many children, particularly African American, other minorities, and underprivileged people from all groups have been subjected to lesser educational opportunities leading to lesser opportunities for success in their personal and professional lives.
