The 2016 school year has begun and America must focus on security, character education, and academic achievements in our educational communities.
The U.S. Department of Education estimates 50.1 million students will attend public elementary and secondary schools.
About 3.1 million full-time teachers will be employed in nearly 98,500 schools in our public school system.
There will be an additional 20.2 million students in the nation’s colleges and universities and an additional 4.9 million attending private schools.
The American educational system is critical to the future of the nation, as memorialized in my published works and presentations nationwide over the last 20 years.
Our educators, students, families, and community leaders must be dedicated to making each district, campus, classroom, and student a priority for security, character development, and academic initiatives.
Our educational system is the heart and soul of the nation’s future and every effort must be made to insure success.
