Attendees at Yesterday's White House NCLB Event

April 13, 2007 10:48 AM

This is a list of expected attendees for President Bush's meeting yesterday with civil rights, business and education leaders:

Secretary Margaret Spellings, Department of Education

Jeanne Allen, Founder and President, Center for Education Reform

Dr. Craig Barrett, Chairman of the Board, Intel Corporation; Member, Aspen Institute’s Commission on No Child Left Behind

John Castellani, President, Business Roundtable (Washington, D.C.)

Tom Donohue, President and CEO, U.S. Chamber of Commerce (Potomac, Maryland)

Shelia Evans-Tranumn, Associate Commissioner of Education, State of New York

Tom Luce, III, CEO, National Math and Science Initiative; former Assistant Secretary, Department of Education (2005-2006)

Janet Murguía, President and CEO, National Council of La Raza (Washington, D.C.)

Ed Rust, Jr., Chairman and CEO, State Farm Insurance Companies; Member, Aspen Institute’s Commission on No Child Left Behind

Art Ryan, Chairman and CEO, Prudential Financial Inc. (Mendham, New Jersey)

Bill Taylor, Chairman, Citizens’ Commission on Civil Rights (Washington, D.C.)

Paul Vallas, CEO, School District of Philadelphia (Philadelphia, Pennsylvania)

Dr. Susan Zelman, Superintendent of Public Instruction, Ohio Department of Education (Columbus, Ohio)

This afternoon, the president will be conducting another education meeting.  Rumor has it that this time the attendees will be representatives of private schools.

So, lots of education activity at the White House, lots of NCLB activity on the Hill.  It's still not clear whether all the activity will translate into NCLB reauthorization this year.
