Closing date: Friday, February 8, 2 0 0 2 Suite A (AP) — A Hillsboro elementary school prin cipal has been named to a presidential panel charged with coming up with ideas to help close the achievement gap between Hispanic and white students. Enedelia Schofield, principal at W.L. Henry Elementary School, was chosen for President Bush’s Commission on Educational Excellence for Hispanic Americans. Schofield is the only Oregonian to serve on the panel made up of education, business and com munity leaders from across the country. Schofield said it was an honor to be chosen. When she was in high school, she said, “Coun selors looked at me and said,' You’re probably not going to graduate and you’re probably going to get pregnant, so go ahead and stay home and learn to cook,”’ she said. “This is really, really exciting for me.” Hispanics perform worse than white non- Hispanic students on achievement tests. That gap also exists in Oregon, where only 46 percent of students in the 2000-01 school year met or exceeded statewide standards in reading. In contrast, 72 percent of white students met the guidelines. Join our fast-paced progressive HR Team.

Bush Plans Second Visit to Mexico (AP) — President Bush will visit Mexico in March to attend a U.N. conference on economic growth and development conference and to meet with Mexican President Vicente Fox, the White House announced last week. It will be Bush’s second visit to Mexico. He went there a year ago in the weeks after taking office to visit Fox. He has vowed to upgrade relations with America’s southern neighbor. Bush will participate in the International Con ference on Financing for Development in Monterrey on March 22. It is to provide a forum for discussing steps for removing obstacles to economic growth and development. U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan said last month that the conference must set as its goal a doubling of current foreign aid levels. In a July 2001 speech at the World Bank, Bush called for expanding the circle of development to include all of the world’s poor. Bush has developed a strong relationship with Fox. “The meetings with Mexico’s president will be an opportunity to discuss regional issues of interest to both countries and to review progress in key areas of the bilateral relationship,” White House spokesman Ari Fleischer said. They will discuss border security in the after- math of the September 11 attacks, as well as trade, economic development and immigration issues, Fleischer said.
