| Title | Hispanic students behind academically |
| Body | The article begins: Denver's first Summit on Latino Academic Achievement began with grim statistics about the progress of Hispanic children in U.S. schools and ended with a call to action to local business leaders. Federico Peña, the former Denver mayor and Clinton Cabinet official, threw out a challenge - and two big numbers - in his talk to about 300 education, civic and business leaders gathered at a downtown hotel. The article goes on to describe Peña's appeal to the business world to invest in schools and how the US' comparatively smaller investment in education impacts Hispanic students and the nation as a whole. Mitchell, N, Peña cites crisis, issues challenge: Summit on Latino academics conveys a sense of urgency. http://insidedenver.com/drmn/education/article/ 0,1299,DRMN_957_3269852,00.html (21Oct. 2004). |
