Information Regarding the Presidential Address to
Students
Bandera, Texas
● September 3, 2009
In a letter to school
principals from the United States Department of
Education, Secretary Arne Duncan announced that on
September 8, 2009, President Barack Obama will deliver a
national address to students on the importance of
education. According to the letter, Secretary Duncan
stated that the President will challenge students to
work hard, set educational goals, and take
responsibility for their learning. The address will be
broadcast live on the White House web site and may be
used instructionally in Bandera ISD classrooms.
Bandera ISD is
committed to providing access to learning opportunities,
but it is also our practice to provide parents with the
right to remove their children temporarily from a
classroom if an instructional activity conflicts with
the parents’ beliefs. Parents who wish to exercise this
right during the viewing of the Presidential address
(either live or recorded) must notify their campus
principal in writing by Tuesday, September
8, 2009 at 8:00 AM.
