Sand Creek Massacre
On November 29, 1864, 700 Colorado troops savagely slaughtered over 450 Cheyenne
children, disabled, elders, and women in the southeastern Colorado Territory under its
protection.
This act became known as the Sand Creek Massacre. This film project (“The Sand Creek
Massacre” documentary film project) is an examination of an open wound in the souls of the
Cheyenne people as told from their perspective. This project chronicles that horrific 19th
century event and its affect on the 21st century struggle for
respectful coexistence between white and native plains cultures
in the United States of America.
Here are directions on how to reach the Sand Creek Massacre
National Historic Site: From Eads, travel three miles east on
Colorado 96, past the U.S. 287 South junction, and then another
11.3 miles to Chivington. Continue past Chivington on
Colorado 96 for another three-fourths of a mile to County Road
54. Turn left and travel north on County Road 54 for 7.1 miles
to a ‘T’ intersection with Country Road W. Turn right and travel
east for 1.3 miles to the entrance of the Sand Creek Massacre
site.

La Estampilla “Forever”
Ya Está A La Venta
Disponible
Cambio de precio el 14 de Mayo
Si pudiera sonar, resonaría
con toda la libertad e
independencia de no tener que
usar más las estampillas de
uno o dos centavos para enviar
cartas cuando los precios de las
estampillas cambien en
el futuro. El Servicio
Postal de EE.UU. (USPS)
ofreció hoy su última
innovación para los
consumidores postales
al presentar la estampilla
Forever al lado del ícono
patriótico
que
representa.
La
estampilla Forever, con
su imagen de la
Campana de la Libertad
y la palabra “forever”,
que quiere decir “para
siempre”, ya está a la
venta en todo el país en
el día de la fecha y sirve para
enviar cartas First-Class de una
onza
en
el
futuro,
independientemente de que
los precios cambien.
“El día de hoy marca un hito
histórico”, declaró Alan C.
Kessler, Vicepresidente de la
Junta de Gobernadores del
USPS; “y qué mejor lugar para
ello que Filadelfia, la cuna de
la libertad, junto a la Campana
de la Libertad”.
La estampilla Forever se
venderá siempre al precio de
una
estampilla
para
correspondencia First Class
que esté en vigencia en el
momento de la compra. Para
presentar la estampilla al
público, el Servicio Postal la
ofrece hoy a 41 centavos. Los
clientes la podrán usar tan
pronto como lo deseen, pero
los precios de las estampillas
no van a cambiar hasta el 14 de
mayo; y cuando lo hagan en el
futuro, se venderá la
estampilla Forever al precio
nuevo que tenga la estampilla
necesaria para enviar una
pieza de correspondencia First
Class.
“Las primeras estampillas
postales
de
EE.UU.
aparecieron en 1847”, añadió
Kessler, refiriéndose a la
estampilla de cinco centavos
con la imagen de Benjamin
Franklin que servía para enviar
cartas hasta una distancia de
300 millas, y la estampilla de
10 centavos con la imagen de
George Washington que servía
para envíos más lejanos.
“Dejemos que la historia
registre que la primera
estampilla Forever fue
presentada el 12 de abril de
2007, en la cuna de la
democracia estadounidense y
con el símbolo eterno de la
libertad de este país”.
No hay límites para la
cantidad que pueden comprar
los clientes. La estampilla
Forever ya está disponible y se

Declaración De La Alliance For Excellent Education
El Center For American Progress, Jobs For The Future Y El
Consejo Nacional De La Raza (NCLR) Sobre La
Presentación Del Proyecto De Ley Graduation Promise Act
Hoy cuatro organizaciones
nacionales que trabajan para
mejorar los resultados
académicos de los estudiantes
estadounidenses
de
secundaria aplauden el
proyecto de ley Promesa de
Graduación
(Graduation
Promise Act o GPA, por sus
siglas en inglés). GPA esta
diseñado a mejorar las escuelas
secundarias y disminuir la
cantidad
creciente
de
estudiantes que abandonan la
escuela, introducido hoy por
los senadores Jeff Bingaman
(D-NM), Richard Burr (R-NC)
y Edward Kennedy (D-MA),
presidente del Comité de
Salud, Pensiones y Fuerza
Laboral, con el fuerte respaldo
del Alliance for Excellent
Education, el Center for
American Progress, Jobs for the
Future, y el Consejo Nacional
de La Raza.
“Los Estados Unidos enfrenta
un crisis en cuanto a
estudiantes que abandonan la
escuela”, afirmó John Podesta,
presidente del Center for
American Progress. “Este crisis
es el tema de nuestro informe,
Addressing America’s Dropout
Challenge, el cual fue escrito en
conjunto con Jobs for the Future
y cuyo mensaje resonante es el
de actuar inmediatamente.
Esperamos que el Congreso
haga caso a este llamado”.
En la actualidad, dos de cada
tres estudiantes abandonan la
secundaria sin la preparación
necesaria para ir a la
universidad o para entrar a la
fuerza
laboral.
El
Departamento de Fuerza
Laboral estima que casi el 90 %
de los trabajos con más
demanda en Estados Unidos

marzo de 2007, el Caucus
Hispano en el Congreso, el

numerosas organizaciones a
nivel nacional expresaron estas
preocupaciones a la presidenta
de PBS, Paula Kerger al
discutir este proyecto de seis
años y cuestionar porqué no

“Se lo debemos, no sólo a
quienes
murieron
honorablemente en el campo
de batalla, sino también a los
cientos de miles de veteranos
hispanos que volvieron a casa
a enfrentar la misma
discriminación y segregación
que existían cuando dejaron a
sus familias para servir en la
guerra”, dijo Antonio Gil
Morales,
Comandante
Nacional del American GI
Forum. “

American College Of Physicians Lanza Herramientas Para
Mejorar Diabetes
Coma adecuadamente, haga
ejercicio, monitoree el azúcar
en la sangre, tome los
medicamentos regularmente.
Este es el consejo que los
médicos dan a los más de 20
millones de norteamericanos
que padecen de diabetes. Sin
embargo, la aplicación de estas
recomendaciones
con
frecuencia está lejos de lo ideal,
poniendo a los pacientes ante
un mayor riesgo de sufrir
daños al corazón, riñones, ojos
y pies.
En un esfuerzo por cerrar
esta brecha, el American
College of Physicians (ACPAsociación de Médicos de
Estados Unidos) y la American

Physicians
Foundation (ACPF-Fundación
de la Asociación de Médicos de
Estados Unidos) revelan tres
herramientas prácticas para los

ACP, otros profesionales de
salud en equipos de prácticas
clínicas y sus pacientes.
Estas herramientas
educativas integrales son la
culminación de una ambiciosa
Iniciativa de Diabetes de tres
años financiada por una beca
educativo de Novo Nordisk.
“Los objetivos de proveer
estos recursos”, dijo la Dra.
Vincenza
Snow,
FACP,
Directora de programas
clínicos y calidad de cuidados
del ACP, “son crear mayor
conciencia acerca de la brecha
entre la práctica actual y los
estándares aceptables de los
cuidados de diabetes; ofrecer
intervenciones educativas para
mejorar los cuidados de la
diabetes;
aumentar
la
conciencia acerca de lo que
constituye el cuidado de
diabetes de alta calidad y
basado en evidencia; y
reconocer prácticas médicas
que mejoran los cuidados de la
diabetes”.
Los siguientes materiales
están diseñados a ayudar a los
médicos y su personal a
implementar estrategias de
cuidados basadas en equipo,
ofrecerles
herramientas
prácticas y motivar a los
pacientes a implementar
cambios de estilos de vida y
técnicas que les ayudan a
manejar su proprio salud.

Pinnacol Distributing $60 Million in General Dividends to
Colorado Businesses
Policyholder Dividends Will Flow Back into Colorado Economy and Safety Efforts
For the third year in a row,
Pinnacol
Assurance,
Colorado’s largest and oldest
workers’
compensation
insurer, will issue a general
dividend to its policyholders.
In mid-May, eligible Colorado
businesses will receive
dividend checks totaling $60
million.
With this year’s declaration,
the company has now returned
more than $172 million in
general
dividends
to
Colorado’s
business
community over the past three
years.
Statewide, Pinnacol is issuing
dividend checks to nearly
56,000 qualifying businesses –
about 93 percent of its
policyholders.
“Issuing a general dividend
for the third straight year is a
continuing sign of Pinnacol’s
financial health and stability,”
said Ken Ross, Pinnacol
Assurance president and CEO.
“We’re pleased to be in a
position to return this money
to our customers who fuel
Colorado’s economy by
reinvesting these funds in their
businesses
and
their
employees’ safety.”
The dividend rewards
Pinnacol policyholders who
have good safety records and
low claims costs. Dividend
checks are calculated based on
the size of a policyholder ’s
annual premium compared to
claims costs. The average 2007
dividend check will be about
$1,100.
Pinnacol has great
information and systems in
place that help us stay safe and
keep our costs in check,” says
Manuel Gonzales, a Pinnacol
customer and president of AMI
Mechanical. “We’ve been able
to build a successful safety
program at our company, and
it’s great that Pinnacol
recognizes our efforts with the
general dividend.”
Pinnacol offers a variety of
free resources to help
policyholders in all industries
protect their employees. Safety
consultants and return-towork specialists are available
at no cost to perform worksite
inspections and develop
customized injury-prevention
and
transitional
work
programs.
In addition,
Pinnacol hosts regular safety
seminars on diverse issues
ranging from back-injury
prevention to safety for nonEnglish speaking workers.

Start Your Business on the
Path to Success with SCORE
According to the U.S. Small
Business Administration, there
are nearly 26 million small
businesses in the United States.
“Two-thirds of new businesses
survive at least two years,
while 44 percent survive at
least four,” states Ric Denton,
Chair of the Colorado Springs
SCORE chapter. “Consulting
with SCORE greatly increases
your chance for success right
from the start.”
SCORE “Counselors to
America’s Small Business”
offers five tips to start you on
your journey.
Clearly define your business
idea. Be sure you can state the
purpose of your business in
clear and simple language. Set
your overall goals.
Examine your motives. Make
sure you have a passion for
owning a business, and for this
type of business in particular.
Be willing to commit.
A new venture can be very
rewarding, but it involves
time, discipline, learning and
frustration. You may want to
work for someone else in the
same line of business first to
get an idea of what’s involved.
Conduct a competitive
analysis. Make a serious
analysis of any products,
prices,
promotions,
advertising, distribution,
quality and service involved in
your business. Objectively
measure your skills and
training against potential
competition.
Don’t go it alone. Seek help
from current business owners,
professionals,
financial
institutions,
vendors,
government agencies and
trade associations. SCORE
counselors are a great source
for free, professional advice on
starting your own business.
These tips are designed to get
you started down the right
path toward success.
For long-term assistance in
navigating the bumps,
potholes and challenges,
contact the local SCORE
Chapter for free and
confidential counseling.

Lorena Ochoa top-ranked player in the world
“Today is one of the most special days in my life,” said Lorena Ochoa. “I am extremely happy
about becoming number one on the Rolex Rankings and the number one player in the world,
something that I have dreamed about since I was little.
It’s really special because I am at home and I am able to
celebrate the news with the people in my country. This is
a huge accomplishment for me and I recognize and
appreciate the support of my family, sponsors and
management team.”
Lorena Ochoa is now the top-ranked player in the world,
according to the latest Rolex Rankings, released earlier
today. Since its launch in February 2006, Annika
Sorenstam has held the top position. However, on the
strength of Ochoa’s six wins in 2006 and five top-10
finishes in six starts this season, Sorenstam’s lead
dwindled as Ochoa moved closer to the top spot. The
current 104-week period goes back to the 2005 season, in
which Sorenstam won 10 times.
Statistically-speaking, it was possible for Ochoa to take
over the top-spot in the Rolex Rankings with a win at
either the Kraft Nabisco Championship or Ginn OPEN,
based on the strength of the fields each week, but a tie
for 10th and runner-up finish, respectively, prevented the milestone until this week. Ochoa has
been on the heels of Sorenstam as she became the first player since Sorenstam to cross the $2
million mark in season earnings last year, along with Karrie Webb. Additionally, Ochoa was the
first player since Laura Davies in 1996 not named Sorenstam or Webb to earn Rolex Player of
the Year honors.

Library District reveals Zorro is 2007 All Pikes Peak Reads selection
Community-wide project launches this fall
Readers in El Paso County
will enjoy the historic
adventure story of Zorro for the
2007 All Pikes Peak Reads.
The Pikes Peak Library
District announced the 2007 All
Pikes Peak Reads selection at
a news conference Thursday.
The book selections will
include Isabel Allende’s Zorro:
a novel, and The Mark of Zorro,
written by Johnston McCulley.
The project will be built
around two books, one for
young audiences and one for
adults. This allows PPLD to
broaden the scope of APPR to
include improved offerings for
adults and seniors, a key
objective of the library district.
Allende’s Zorro will be used for
adult programming; The Mark
of Zorro will be used for school
curriculum development and
children’s programming.
“This is an exciting selection,
because like Tales from the
Arabian Nights, the legend of
Zorro is not widely taught but
is still well-known by people of
all ages,” said Dee Vazquez,
PPLD Community Relations
Officer.
The historic legend of Zorro
weaves together Spanish
history, California history,
mythic folk tales, treasure
hunting adventures, Native
American lore and more.
Books will be available for
check out at libraries. Book
discussion materials are also
under development.
The month-long program,
which begins September 30, is
a community-wide effort to
improve literacy and foster
dialogue across social, cultural,
and generational lines. Book
discussion groups, children’s
programs and games, film
screenings, and other Zorro-

unprecedented level of
personalization
choices,
including a range of more than
100 accessories – and led by
GM’s innovative cargo
management system.
With the 2007 Silverado,
personalization was not an
afterthought. It was conceived
from the beginning with
accessories
in
mind,
representing the first GM
vehicle platform to use a
dedicated accessories design
staff housed at the GM
Accessories Design Studio, in
Auburn Hills, Mich. GM
moved forward with this
design approach because it
recognizes
that
giving
customers more choice at the
time of vehicle purchase can
boost sales and satisfy more
customers.
“It’s all about choice.
Personalization is everywhere
– from the MP3s we listen to
and the cell phones we
customize to the streaming
video we watch,” says Nancy
Philippart, executive director,
GM Accessories. “People
expect to have what they want,
the way they want it. Why
should vehicle buyers expect
anything less?”

According to the Specialty
Equipment Market Association
(SEMA),
vehicle
personalization has grown
tremendously in recent years
and has become a $34-billion
annual retail business, with
light trucks representing more
than $10.6 billion – the fastestgrowing segment in the
aftermarket
accessories
business. This growth is likely
to continue as more and more
customers say that they want
their vehicle “their way.” In
fact, according to GfK Custom
Research, 75 percent of vehicle
owners purchased accessories
for their last vehicle, and the
same percentage of those
respondents plan to do so
again.
“Pickup truck buyers
comprise one of the broadest
demographics of any industry
segment and their tastes and
needs span a very diverse
spectrum,” said John Cafaro,
GM design director for fullsize trucks. “Given this, we
Cont. on page 13
Page 13
AUTOMUNDO
Chevrolet Silverado Cont. from page 12
wanted to design these trucks
so they are easy for customers
to purchase them exactly they
way they want.”
GM makes it easy for
consumers to find the
accessories that suit their style
or need. Available at the time
of vehicle launch, Chevrolet
dealers will offer a wide array
of products, including an
innovative cargo management
system, performance parts,
interior
and
exterior
appearance
accessories,
electrical products and wheels.
GM’s Cargo Management
System raises the bar for
flexibility, durability and
security
A new, innovative cargo
management system is at the
heart of the accessories offered
for the 2007 Silverado.
Available on all Silverado
models, it is complemented by
a wide range of dealer-ordered
accessory packages. Three rails
that run the length of the box
sides and the forward box wall
are secured with high-strength
anchors
and,
unlike
competitors’
systems,
incorporate upper and lower
tracks.
Four adjustable tie-down
brackets are included with
each system and can be located
anywhere on the tracks. Each
tie-down is rated for a load
point of 500 pounds (227 kg).
The rails enable the use of an
overhead utility rack rated at
500 pounds (227 kg) loading
capacity; a sliding diamondpattern tool box; a sliding bed
divider; two diamond-pattern
side storage boxes or a bicycle
mount.
Unlike competitors’ systems,
these accessories can use either
the upper or lower rails,
allowing
numerous
combinations that can easily fit
together or bypass one another
as they slide along the rails. For
added durability, all system
components that utilize the
rails for functionality are
powder coated. The system
was also designed to work
with both hard and soft
tonneau covers, which also are
available as accessories.
For those customers who
need the added protection of
secured storage for tools or
toys, the tool boxes use a
“codeable lock,” enabling only
the vehicle key to lock and
unlock the accessories.
GM plus-size and same-size
accessory wheels and TPC tire
systems
Silverado enthusiasts will
find the “dubs” they want at
their Chevrolet dealership. A
selection of six stylish 20-inch
wheel designs is available,
each in a chrome finish. The
wheels are offered with
matching tires that have been
selected using GM’s Tire
Performance Criteria system.
These GM Accessories wheels
and TPC tire systems are
designed to meet GM’s
rigorous requirements for
durability and safety, while
delivering high levels of
performance and style.
Electrical accessories enhance
convenience, entertainment
and security
Silverado customers also can
choose from a variety of smart
electrical products that help
enhance the convenience,
comfort and security of
passengers and drivers alike.
GM’s all-new Personal Audio
Link iPod adapter accessory
will enable iPod users to enjoy
the full benefit of their iPod in
their truck. At $159 MSRP
(dealer installation is extra), it
represents a great value to
those who want their music
whenever and wherever they
are. Personal Audio Link for
Silverado will be available in
the first quarter of 2007.
Available on crew cab models,
GM Accessories offers the
Overhead Portable DVD
System that allows the rearseat passengers to enjoy a DVD
movie while riding down the
road and the capability to take
it with them for enjoyment on
the go. This portable DVD
system integrates perfectly into
the headliner using a speciallydesigned docking station and
will be available in the first
quarter of 2007.

must have broad appeal; be
suitable for adaptation to the
stage; be written at a sixth- to
ninth-grade reading level; be a
book in print; be available in
multiple formats; and contain
issues relevant to residents of
the Pikes Peak region.
Both Zorro texts offer great
opportunities for learning and
discussion about historic and
modern Hispanic culture.
Additionally, the issues in the
novel transcend the Hispanic
culture, lending themselves to
discussion of basic human
rights, oppression, justice,
heroism, class conflict, and
cultural dignity.
With the assistance of
community partners, APPR
would
seek
to
bring
internationally acclaimed
author Isabel Allende, the
project’s first living author, to
speak during the project.
About the Author
Isabel Allende was born in
1942 in Chile. She worked as a
journalist in Chile from 19641974. She has published
articles in newspapers and
magazines in the U.S. and
Europe,
and
travels
extensively for lectures,
speeches and literature
workshops.
Allende has taught literature
at the University of Virginia,
Charlottesville; Montclair
College, New Jersey; and the
University of California,
Berkeley.
She has written stories for
children, plays, and several
novels. In Zorro, her most
recently published novel,
Allende tells the story of how
the young Diego de la Vega
became Zorro.
About APPR
Zorro marks the sixth year of
APPR. All Pikes Peak Reads
was one of Colorado’s first
community-wide reading
programs, and sets itself apart
from other “one book”
programs around the country
by incorporating an original
adaptation of the book for the
stage.
Also unique to the program
are curriculum guides for local
classrooms. Last year’s project,
featuring Alice’s Adventures in
Wonderland reached more than
50,000 students and thousands
more adults.

Rocky Ford Community Helps Promote Health And Wellness During Stroke
Awareness Month
Residents living in and
around the Rocky Ford, Colo.,
community can be screened to
reduce their risk of having a
stroke. Life Line Screening will
be at the First Christian Church
on May 8th. The site is located
at 400 S 9th St in Rocky Ford.
Appointments will begin at
9:00 a.m.
A stroke, also known as a
“brain attack”, is ranked as the
third leading killer in the
world, and the second among
women. Through preventive
screenings, the risk of having
a stroke can be greatly reduced.
This is particularly timely
during May which is Stroke
Awareness Month.
Screenings are fast, painless
and low cost. They involve the
use of ultrasound technology,
and scan for potential health
problems related to: blocked
arteries which can lead to a
stroke, aortic aneurysms which
can lead to a ruptured aorta,
and hardening of the arteries
in the legs, which are a strong
predictor of heart disease. Also
offered for men and women, is
a bone density screening to
assess
their
risk
for
osteoporosis.
“My surgeon said ‘I was a
stroke waiting to happen’ even
though I felt fine." Dolores
Huebinger – Glenwood
Spring, Colo.
All four screenings take less
than an hour to complete. A
complete wellness package,
including the Stroke/Carotid
Artery, Abdominal Aortic
Aneurysm, Ankle Brachial
Index (hardening of the
arteries) and Osteoporosis
screenings, is only $139 (a
savings of $41!).
Life Line Screening was
established in 1993, and has
since become the nation’s
leading provider of vascular
screenings. Over 85 ultrasound
teams are on staff to travel to
your local community,
bringing the screenings to you.
These
non-invasive,
inexpensive and painless,
ultrasound tests help people
identify their risk for stroke,
vascular
diseases
or
osteoporosis early enough for
their physician to begin
preventive procedures.
For more information
regarding the screenings or to
schedule an appointment, call
1-800-697-9721 or visit us on

Medicare’s efforts in this area,”
said Army Maj. Gen. Elder
Granger, deputy director,
TRICARE
Management
Activity. “We hope our
collaboration with Medicare
on these demonstrations will
improve care for our
beneficiaries with end-stage
renal disease.”
These demonstrations will
increase the opportunity for
Medicare beneficiaries with
end-stage renal disease to
receive integrated disease
management services.
The demonstrations will test
the effectiveness of disease
management models to
increase quality of care for
these patients while ensuring
they receive care more
effectively and efficiently. At
the same time, Medicare will
assess alternatives for paying
for services these beneficiaries
receive. Beneficiaries who
would like to participate in a
demonstration for end-stage
renal disease should speak
with a representative at their
dialysis center to learn if one
is available in their area.

Nearly 3.5 million Hispanic kids have no health insurance
Events planned thru April 29 to support reauthorization of government insurance programs for kids, enroll eligible families
More than 1,000 events will be
held across the county during
Cover the Uninsured Week
(April 23-29) to help millions
of uninsured Hispanic children
obtain low-cost or free health
care coverage.
The activities are planned as
part of Cover the Uninsured
Week,
a
nonpartisan,
nationwide effort to urge U.S.
leaders to make health
coverage for Americans a top
priority.
This event has become the
largest,
nonpartisan
mobilization in history seeking
solutions for the 45 million of
Americans who are uninsured.
This year, Cover the Uninsured
Week comes at a critical time,
with Congress working to
reauthorize
the
State
Children’s Health Insurance
Program (SCHIP).
Enacted in 1997, SCHIP
provides each state with
federal funds for a health
insurance program for
vulnerable
children.
Organizers of the Week say that
if America’s leaders fail to
renew and sufficiently fund
SCHIP, millions of children
who desperately need health
insurance
will
remain
uninsured and without
adequate health care.
There are nearly 3.5 million
Hispanic uninsured children
according to the latest
government statistics, and
Hispanic kids are more likely
to be uninsured than nonHispanic white or black
children. Experts say most of
these children are likely
eligible for low-cost or free
health care coverage through
SCHIP, but have not yet
enrolled.
“Hispanic children are more
likely than any others to be
uninsured, but thanks to
programs like SCHIP, many of
these kids are eligible for
health coverage programs,”
said Risa Lavizzo-Mourey,
M.D., M.B.A., president and
CEO of the Robert Wood
Johnson Foundation.
“For five years, volunteers
have responded to Cover the
Uninsured Week by helping to
enroll eligible kids in SCHIP,
administering a great deal of
needed and preventive care
and raising awareness about
children’s health coverage and
the overall issue of the
uninsured.
Thanks to their hard work,
solving America’s health
coverage crisis is now near the
top of the political agenda for
our elected leaders and
presidential candidates, and
that’s right where it belongs.”
Thousands of people will
participate April 23-29 in
thousands of Cover the
Uninsured Week community
service and education events
held in every state.
Planned activities include
SCHIP enrollment events,
seminars for business owners,
town hall discussions, campus
activities and faith-based
events.
Now in its fifth year, Cover the
Uninsured Week brings together
business owners, union
members, educators, students,
patients, physicians, nurses,
faith leaders and their
congregants,
and
organizations in all 50 states
and the District of Columbia to
demand that our nation’s
leaders find solutions for the
nearly 45 million Americans
living
without
health
insurance, especially the
almost 9 million children
without insurance.
“It is essential that all children
regardless of race have access
to health care. That is why
health insurance and programs
like SCHIP are critical to the
overall health and success of
our kids,” said LavizzoMourey.
“Children need this type
coverage to stay healthy and
succeed in life. That’s why
events are being held across
the country to highlight the
success of children’s coverage
programs and demonstrate the
need for these programs to be
fully funded.”
In addition to the Robert
Wood Johnson Foundation,
organizations sponsoring
Cover the Uninsured Week
include the U.S. Chamber of
Commerce,
AFL-CIO,
Healthcare
Leadership
Council, AARP, United Way of
America, American Medical
Association, National Medical
Association, American Nurses
Association, Families USA,
Blue Cross and Blue Shield
Association, America’s Health
Insurance Plans, American

Association,
Federation of American
Hospitals, Catholic Health
Association of the United
States, Service Employees
International Union, National

The California Endowment
and W.K. Kellogg Foundation.

COMMUNITY NEWS
Joint Statement From The Alliance For Excellent Education
The Center For American Progress, Jobs For The Future And The
National Council Of La Raza (NCLR) On The Introduction Of The
Graduation Promise Act
Today, four national
organizations committed to
improving
educational
outcomes for America’s high
school students applaud the
introduction of the Graduation
Promise Act (GPA).
The GPA is designed to
improve high schools and
reduce dropout rates, and was
introduced today by U.S.
Senators Jeff Bingaman, DNM, Richard Burr, R-NC, and
Health, Education, Pensions
and
Labor
Committee
Chairman Edward Kennedy,
D-MA.
The GPA is enthusiastically
supported by the Alliance for
Excellent Education, the
Center for American Progress,
Jobs for the Future, and the
National Council of La Raza.
“America is facing a dropout
crisis,” said John Podesta,
President and CEO of the
Center for American Progress.
“This crisis was the impetus
behind our report, Addressing
America’s Dropout Challenge,
co-authored with Jobs for the
Future, and is the big flashing
sign saying ‘Act Now’ that
Congress should heed.”
In America today, two in
three students leave high
school unprepared for college
or the modern workplace.
The U.S. Department of Labor
projects that almost 90 percent
of the fastest growing U.S. jobs
require at least some
postsecondary education.
The nation’s fifteen-year-olds,
when measured against their
counterparts
in
other
industrialized nations, rank
fifteenth in reading, twentythird in math, and thirtieth in
problem-solving skills.
“We know what can and
should be done to end the
dropout crisis in this country,”
said Gov. Bob Wise, President
of the Alliance for Excellent
Education
and
former
governor of West Virginia.
“By targeting resources to

solutions proven to work, the
GPA turns knowledge into
action. These Senators have
shown the will; their
legislation shows the way.
Congress should pass the GPA
to help make ‘every child a
graduate’ a reality.”
For minority and low-income
students, the situation is
especially dire.
High school students living in
low-income families drop out
of school at six times the rate
of their peers from highincome families, and only
about 55 percent of Black
students and 52 percent of
Hispanic students graduate on
time from high school with a
regular diploma, compared to
78 percent of White students.
“Forty years ago, the United
States led the world in high
school graduation rates; it now
ranks seventeenth,” said
Marlene B. Seltzer, President
and CEO of Jobs for the Future.
“We are moving in the wrong
direction.
The GPA answers the need to
move forward and ensure that
all students stay in school and
graduate ready for college and
work.”
“It’s unacceptable that
slightly more than half of
Latino and African American
students graduate from high
school,” said Janet Murguía,
President and CEO of the
National Council of La Raza,
the largest national Hispanic
civil rights and advocacy
organization in the U.S.
“The Graduation Promise Act
will help reverse these trends
by focusing attention and
resources on this critical issue.”
The GPA authorizes $2.5 billion
in new funding to:
— Create a federal-state-local
secondary school reform
partnership focused on
transforming the nation’s
lowest performing high
schools;
— Build capacity for high
school improvement and
provide resources to ensure
high school educators and
students facing the highest
challenges receive the support
they need to succeed;
— Strengthen state systems to
identify, differentiate among,
and target the level of reform
and resources necessary to
improve low performing high
schools
and
ensure
transparency
and
accountability for that process;
— Advance the research and
development needed to ensure
a robust supply of highly
effective secondary school
models for those most at risk
of being left behind and
identify the most effective
reforms;
— Support states to align their
policies and systems to meet
the goal of college and careerready graduation for all
students.
