Proclamation 8372 of May 4, 2009
National Charter Schools Week, 2009
By the President of the United States of America
A Proclamation
Improving our schools is the collective responsibility of all Americans—
business owners and workers, educators and parents, students and their
communities. We must ensure that all students receive a high-quality education that delivers the knowledge and skills needed to succeed, and that
young men and women stay on the path to graduation and a life-long
commitment to learning.
Many successful public charter schools across the Nation are working to
meet these goals. Founded by parents, teachers, and civic or community
organizations, our Nation’s public charter schools enjoy broad leeway to
innovate.
The best public charter schools and their students are thriving in States
that have adopted a rigorous selection and review process to ensure that
autonomy is coupled with greater accountability. The growth of effective
public charter schools benefits our children, and States have an important
role to play in their expansion.
During National Charter Schools Week, we recognize these public charter
schools for their dedication and commitment to achievement in education.
They are models of excellence and are promoting the interests of our children,
our economy, and our Nation as a whole.
NOW, THEREFORE, I, BARACK OBAMA, President of the United States
of America, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Constitution
and laws of the United States, do hereby proclaim May 3 through May
9, 2009, as National Charter Schools Week. I commend our Nation’s successful public charter schools, teachers, and administrators, and I call on States
and communities to support public charter schools and the students they
serve.
