A quick look back at the week on WhiteHouse.gov:
On Education: This month, the President will be focused on his plan to improve American education through investments that focus on responsibility, reform, and results:
- President Obama travels to Miami to visit a high school that has been an example of how federal support has turned around struggling schools.
- John Legend encourages students to apply for the Race to the Top Commencement Challenge. One high school will be selected to have President Obama speak at its commencement this spring. The deadline to apply is March 11.
- Oh, and Nick Jonas did too.
- The First Lady and Secretary of Education Arne Duncan read to children at the Library of Congress as part of "Read Across America Day," and in celebration of Dr. Seuss' 107th birthday.
Giving States the Power to Innovate: In his address to the meeting of the National Governors' Association, President Obama called for giving states the flexibility to find the best ways to meet standards of care outlined in the Affordable Care Act. Secretary of Health and Human Services Kathleen Sebelius explained what that flexibility means for states across the country.
