MEMORANDUM FOR THE HEADS OF EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENTS AND AGENCIES
SUBJECT: Partnerships in Education
On October 13, 1983, I inaugurated the National Partnerships
in Education Program. The program is highlighting successful
business/education partnerships and calls for increased in-
volvement by the private sector in our efforts to improve the
quality of education in communities across America. The
proclamation I have signed calls on institutions of every kind
to adopt schools and establish other appropriate partnerships
with local schools.
I am requesting that each Executive Department and Agency,
including the applicable regional and field offices, identify
a school and establish a partnership with that school. during
the 1983-84 school year, which has been designated as National
Partnerships in Education Year. I have asked the White House
staff to lead by example by adopting a school in the District
of Columbia school system. Elements of the partnerships can
range from your employees volunteering in tutoring programs,
to sponsoring field trips and tours, to providing classroom
speakers and career awareness seminars.
Successful partnerships are only limited by your imagination.
Federal employees, like all Americans, are looking for effec-
tive ways to volunteer their time in support of America's
education system. This program provides a channel for those
who share my commitment to voluntarism and excellence in educa-
tion. Participation by individual employees in this program
is entirely voluntary, and should be in keeping with existing
Federal regulations regarding the use of personal time for
volunteer activity.
The enclosed material contains information about the program.
You may also contact James K. Coyne of the White House Office
of Private Sector Initiatives for additional ideas. Please
apprise that office of the school you plan to adopt and your
partnership plans.
Quality education is everyone's business, and I look forward
to your enthusiastic support.
