¡Acepto la Promesa!
COMO PADRE, ABUELO O ADOLESCENTE, por la presente doy mi compromiso de ayudar a los niños de nuestra comunidad a lograr un futuro verdaderamente independiente. Mi declaración de responsabilidad y compromiso con mi escuela pública se expresa en estas cinco verdades evidentes que se hacen eco de las palabras del presidente Woodrow Wilson:
-
Como estadounidenses, somos los dueños del sistema de escuelas públicas.
-
Como propietarios, tenemos la responsabilidad de participar en el sistema.
-
La responsabilidad de nuestras escuelas públicas, su seguridad, sus empleados y su financiamiento recae en nosotros y en el resto de los dueños del sistema.
-
El futuro de nuestros hijos depende del mejoramiento de las escuelas públicas.
-
Y este mejoramiento depende de nuestra participación.
