RECAP: Secretary Of Education Answered Hispanic Education Questions In Virtual Town Hall

VIRTUAL TOWN HALL, LIVE VIDEO STREAM
OCTOBER 3, 2011
FROM 2:30PM ET TO 3:30PM ET

The Secretary of Education, Arne Duncan, engaged with the Latino community through a virtual town hall to kick off a week-long focus on Hispanic education as a part of the Obama Administration’s Hispanic Heritage Month. The town hall was moderated by Juan Sepulveda, the executive director of the White House Initiative on Educational Excellence for Hispanics.

Secretary Duncan and Mr. Sepulveda responded to questions about the state of Latino education and the Administration’s initiatives to improve access to education for Hispanic students.

Voters had a chance to hear what the Administration's education leadership has to say about the DREAM Act, bilingual education, teacher pay inequality, keeping Latinos in school through college graduation, and much more.

The town hall was webcast live and accompanied by a Live Blog (below).
