A
Proclamation
Education
is a lifelong process. Local support for education helps to promote programs
for learners of all ages, backgrounds, and needs and encourages full use of
school facilities. As each community draws upon its own resources, new
opportunities are created, helping many individuals achieve their goals and
aspirations. These are the opportunities that have always sustained the
freedoms and responsibilities so important to all Americans.
Public
education is a community enterprise, and everyone in the community has a stake
in the education of adults as well as children. Local citizen involvement is
critical in deciding how the financial and educational resources of the
community should be used. Many communities are making valuable efforts to
promote the use of community resources in schools and colleges, citizen
involvement in educational decision-making, the use of community resources to
provide educational opportunities for learners of all ages and educational
backgrounds, and interagency cooperation to assure effective use of limited
resources.
