The President will work to ensure that Congress fully funds his efforts to\nstrengthen after-school programs. The House Republicans provide $140 million less than\nthe President's request, which would deny about 425,000 children access to safe learning centers.\nExpanding Head Start. President Clinton is committed to ensuring that children enter school\nready to learn -- that is why he will continue to press Congress to fully fund his request for Head\nStart. The President will work to restore the $160 million House Republicans underinvest in\nHead Start -- which would deny slots to 25,000 low-income children.\nTitle I (Education for the Disadvantaged). The President will fight the Republican efforts to cut\n$392 million in grants to high-poverty school districts, which would mean that 520,000 students\nin high-poverty communities would not get extra help to master the basics and meet\nhigh-academic standards.\nGoals 2000. The President will fight Republican efforts to cut by $255 million (51%) Goals 2000,\nreversing support for efforts to raise academic standards, affecting 6,000 schools serving over 3\nmillion students.\nHispanic Education Action Plan. Because the education of Hispanic Americans requires special\nattention -- their high school drop-out rate, for example, is unacceptably high. President Clinton\nis committed to ensuring that his $600 million Hispanic Education Action Plan is fully funded.\nThis action plan provides for the increased investments necessary to help students master the basic\nskills (Title I), and become proficient in English (Bilingual Education), help schools implement\nresearch-proven reforms to reduce drop-out rates (Comprehensive School Reform), help adults\nreceive basic skills training and participate in English-as-a-second-language programs (Adult\nEducation), and provide assistance to colleges and universities that serve large numbers of\nHispanic students.\nEducation Opportunity Zones. The President will fight for his education Opportunity Zones\ninitiative, which would help high-poverty urban and rural communities increase student\nachievement by raising standards, improving teaching, ending social promotions, and turning\naround failing schools.\nSafe and Drug-Free Schools and Communities. The President will fight Republican efforts to cut\nSafe and Drug-Free Schools by $50 million, eliminating funding for School Coordinators to help\nfight drug and alcohol abuse and increase school safety.\n7. EXPANDING INVESTMENTS IN YOUTH EDUCATION AND TRAINING.\nOne of President Clinton's top priorities this fall is ensuring that Republicans do not eliminate the\nSummer Jobs Program which provides work experience to disadvantaged youth -- and the new\nYouth Opportunity Areas initiative -- which helps provide hope and opportunity to youth in\nhigh-poverty areas."
