More: Bill White, former mayor of Houston, has spent his life getting things done, not playing politics. Under Rick Perry, we’ve seen test scores fall, college tuition skyrocket and a State Board of Education inject politics into the classroom. Bill White will improve public schools, cut the drop-out rate and reduce the costs of college. As the son of two retired school teachers, and now the father of a new school teacher, Bill White respects educatorsand understands the value of a good education.
When: Tuesday, July 22, 2010 — 5:30 p.m. business meeting — 6:00 p.m. program
Where: Longview Community Center, 500 East Whaley Street, Longview
More: Andrea White’s twin passions are writing books for kids and keeping kids in school. Her historical novels for middle schoolers win prizes and for the last six years, she has visited dozens of middle schools around Texas to encourage students to read and show them how to think and write creatively.
In addition to writing books, Andrea and her husband, Bill, started a non-profit program six years ago called Expectation Graduation in Houston to help staunch the flood of local dropouts. Since then, the low-cost volunteer program has encouraged 8,800 Houston students to return to school. That track record has expanded the program to now include 22 school districts, 15 Texas cities and the state of New Mexico.
