It is a call to all
concerned citizens to accept responsibility and take action
towards the goal of excellence in education
through out public school community. Using our God-given talents
and resources along with faith-based values, we will encourage,
support and serve the public school community in a variety
of Constitutionally appropriate ways.
THE COALITION OF PUBLIC SCHOOL MINISTRIES CHALLENGES YOU TO
GET INVOLVED!
 "Our
conviction says we will not rest until every child of every
race knows the pride and promise of learning...
My priorities are to bring local control, high standards, and
character education to our public schools. "
Pres. George
W. Bush
Recently, Education Secretary Rod Paige
spoke about the necessity of addressing what he called, "President
Bush's number one priority, the problem of our education system
not performing at a level adequate to sustain our nation's
global leadership." Paige continued, "Look at the
evidence. Two-thirds of American fourth-graders cannot read
at grade level. Our students rank poorly among industrialized
nations on international math and science tests. Almost two
thirds of low-income eighth-graders cannot multiply or divide
two-digit numbers. Our education failures are a public heath
problem, an economic problem and a national security problem.
The work force, leaders, and decision-makers of tomorrow are
sitting in our school classrooms today. To be successful these
students will need to be educated, responsible and moral citizens."
Educators across the Unitd States are commited to the vital
roles they play in these student's lives, but it is our responbility
to partner with them as parents, churches, and concerned communities
to assist them in equipping every student. As individuals and
communities, we must demonstrate to our student show much we
value them if we hope that they will value us in the future.
Secretary Paige is challenging
us by saying, "The No
Child Left Behind Act of 2001, is the first step, and the President
has called on the whole ocuntry to take up the challenge. Our
community must answer the call."
Therefore the Coalition of Public
School Ministries has declared September 2004, the "I
AM 4 SCHOOLS - Month."
